We were so sorry to hear about Catheryns passing. I have so many memories of her from when I was really little, when she was at Pearls watching Ricky Rudd, and of her in her race room, and getting the best vegetables from her. I will always have these memories.

Love, Tim and Rachel Cornette

Granny, eventhough the time we had together was short and we didn't have as much time to catch up on lost time from years past. I am thankful for the time we did get to share together. I love you and miss you.

Aunt Catheryn, you are out misery and in a much better place. I know if you could talk right now you would like to thank Aunt Jean and Uncle Charlie for opening their house to you and taking fantastic care of you for a whole year. You were blessed for having them and they are blessed for their good deeds. My prayers are with the rest of your family.

Although we never met, our families are tied together by your daughter, Debbie, our very sweet and lovely daughter-in-law. Our son found his soulmate when he met her and married her. Catheryn, she will miss you, but she knows where you are and looks forward to the day she will see you again. Will see you in heaven!
