My condolences to all the family on this loss. I grew up as Kathy Couric in Eufaula, and lived around the corner from Mr. Jimmy Cade. I always heard stories of the brilliant Mr. Dozier Cade, and read some of his writings. William Couric was my father, and he died in 1967.

The Cade family lived next door to ours in Sandy Springs. Catherine was a lovely woman, intelligent, kind and loving. My prayers are with Dozier, Woody and Jim and their families as they deal with this great loss. With blessings and fond memories,
