I am so sorry to just now learn of Catherine's passing. I loved Catherine and enjoyed our visits and phone chats while she was living in Monticello, after we moved back to Camden from AZ. I tried to locate her after she left Arkansas, but all I learned was she lived in FL. She was a special lady and she loved her family very much. I am so sad that I did not have a chance to say goodbye. I offer my sincere condolences to her loved ones.

A wonderful lady, and a sweet friend. She was such a quiet, but classy, lady. We have missed her here in Monticello and at Pauline Baptist Church.

Aunt Cat was the "baby" of my Dad's family and very much loved. I will miss her greatly and hold Kay, Tom, Keith and Kathy as well as the grands and great-grands up in my prayers. Love you all. Wanda Lawson White Crockett
