I was privileged to know know Mrs. Catharine for over 40 years. I must say that when I last spoke with her recently she commented about how proud she was of all of her children. My friends Charles, Catharine, Lewis and Rachel all know how blessed they are to have had her as their Moma. Mr. Charlie showed how husbands are to take care of their wives, "in sickness and in health". You all are in my family's thoughts and prayers.
