Catherine O'Hara. Goddess. Legend. Icon. Genius. In every way that comedy is loving and kind rather than cruel she excelled. She durprused and delighted. Had depth when it was extra. Lead with heart. Rest in peace power play wonderful spirit. If you are accepting applications for humans to guardian angel UnCab raises our hand. All love.
