Granny,
It was so weird...Yesterday me, mom, daad, and johnathan were all downstairs remembering all the little things about you..I will never forget the times, I would get in trouble, and i can hear you distictly in my head saying Tabitha Marie!!! And the other day me and mom was in the car and she had to stop all of the sudden, and she threw her arm across my chest, and i just thought to myself of how much of you is in her.I just wanted to tell you that, you are still in my thoughts daily, and I wish i could see you again..It's still really hard. I know that your in heaven watching over me, and it makes me feel a lot better.

Granny, dealing with you not being here is hard,but to think that your in a better place now watching over us eases the pain, but when it does get hard all I have to do is think of one of the many memories we shared together. That is something that I'll never forget but always cherish.

Love you,Johnathan

Cathy,
She was my mother, and she taught me so many things and instilled part of her in me. I will always have her memories of us doing things together, or just having a cup of coffee laughing about something we had done. She never put herself first, always doing for others, and never complained. Having her in my life was the greatest gift I could ever ask for, and I will proudly walk through life knowing what she has taught me. She will never be forgotten, and she will live on in me.

The thing I will remember most about Cathy was that she was always there to help other people. We send our condolences to Lynwood and family. She will certainly be missed. May God be with you during this time.

Granny,
it is so hard to actually sit here and thank about you not being here, and i can't express to you how much i love you..You have done so many great things for me, whether it was taking me to the beach, or taking me to north carolina so we could spend hours in the doll store. I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts daily, and I am so blessed to be able to tell everyone that i have you as my guardian angel..You are greatly missed and I am so thankful to know that one day we will meet again..I love you always and forever!!
Love,
Tabitha

I have so many good memories of Cathy. I met her thru NAWIC and am so glad that she was in my life. The thing I remember most about her is that she never met a stranger. She talked to anyone and everyone. And like Debbie said - she was there for everyone. When I had to go to NY to bring my uncle back she was the one who rode up with me. When I needed someone to talk to about the kids she was always there. I could go on and on. There will never be anyone else like her. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Aunt Cathy you will be missed. She was an amazing woman. She was always there for you when you needed advise for anything. She made the holidays a wonderful experience for us all; the memories with her will never be forgotten. She will remain in our hearts forever.
