Mrs. James was a beautiful person. In the short time that I knew her, it was definitely a pleasure...she always hada kind word to share. I appreiciated the opportunity of being able to care for her. She will be truly missed by all. God bless you and your family during this difficult time. However please find comfort in knowing that she resting in the arms of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

My fondest memories of Cathy are at swimming meets, with her sitting happily in the stands with the other swimming mothers, Mrs. Howren, Mrs. Mizelle, Mrs. Rainer, Mrs. Warner, Mrs. Rowlette, Mrs. Bradford, to name a few. She was the perfect coach's wife. She cheered us on and embraced us like family. Her devotion and support to Pugger was a lovely sight to behold. Thank you, Cathy, for all your sacrifices, so that Pugger could coach us, changing the direction and quality of our lives. We swimmers are all forever grateful. God bless Bill, Mike and all the family for your loss. I am comforted that Cathy is now reunited with her true love and our dear coach and friend, Pugger James.

Bill and Lisa and family,
Mike, Josh, Adam and I are all so sorry for your loss. Cathy was a special person and we so appreciated her fondness for the boys. Josh is glad that I will be there to "cheer up Uncle Bill."
