Cathy Ellen Atchison

Dear Jack, Doreen and Family

Please accept our sincere condolances on the loss of your beloved daughter Cathy. We were able to attend Cathy's memorial service and what a wonderful testament to a remarkable young woman. She fought such a hard fight with such grace and determination that I think everyone around her was certain she would persevere but it wasn't meant to be. She is safe now and free from all pain. The next time you are in each others arms she will be whole again and what a...

Lisa, Doreen, Jack & family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I only met Cathy once, but reading through these entries,and knowing what a down to earth, special family you all are, I can get a real sense of what a truly special person she was. In April I lost my granny, and although she lived a good long life, NO ONE can tell you how to grieve. Let yourselves have bad days, but let yourself have GREAT days too. It sounds like Cathy really celebrated her life, and everyone elses too! What a...

Dear Jack, Dorine, & Family,

Please allow us to express our heart felt condolences for your your loss. Though time has separated us from one another my fondest memories of childhood were get togethers and playing in your backyard with David, Lisa & Cathy (I think paul was too young)and, the anticipation when I knew you were coming to our house. When my father died I felt denied the years I should have had with him. As time has gone by I've come to believe that there are times God calls...

Dear Atchison Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss, yet, finally Cathy is at peace. It was an honor to take care of her during her transition from this lifetime to the next. I was truly touched by you all. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
God bless you,

Dear Dorine,
I was saddened as I read Cathy's obit on line and after reading the entries describing her, I remember you with many of those same qualities. I am truly sorry for your loss. God Bless!

Dear Lisa & all of Cathy's family,

I am so sorry for your loss! I pray that you will all take comfort in God right now to help you through this. I am sorry that I will not be able to make the memorial service for Cathy but she was a beautiful person with such a sweet spirit! She will be missed. I hope this scripture will be a blessing to you all!
2 Chron 1:3-7 says:

Lisa and Family, I am so sorry for your lose; my heart goes out to all of you and to all of us who have been blessed by the presences of Cathy’s magnetism. No other words for me better describe Cathy than loving and most of all spirited!

In remembering Cathy, a smile will come to my face, she will never be forgotten. You are in our thoughts and...

Dave and family,
I'm very sorry for your loss, You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I have known Cathy since grade school and will always remember her as a graceful sweet person with a fantastic outlook on life. Some of my fondest memories of childhood include Cathy...playing on the “monkey bars” during recess at Cowern Elementary and attending competitions for DECA while at North High School. I was really surprised when I was having brunch with my husband one day when we lived in Omaha, NE and who comes up to give me a hug but Cathy who also happened to be living there at...
