Cathy O'Donnell

Kelly, I've been thinking much about your Mom, as this date of April 1 approaches. I kept a journal from back then, and recently read back to remember her strength which gave me such strength. I pray that with the passing of time; memories have sweetened and that the light of Christ Jesus outshines-and-dims those of the times when she was ill. Missing her! Blessings to you. :)

Cathy was my best childhood friend for several years and we spent many, many hours in happy play. We swam and fished at Portage Lake and talked so many times in Kalamazoo. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Cathy certainly was an example of how to live. I am grateful for her love and will miss her, especially on Thursday nights.

Although I haven't seen Cathy for many years, I cherish the memories of her, Judy, and I growing up together. I especially loved the great times we spent at the cottage. Now she is with her wonderful mother. RIP Cathy. Judy, Robert and Mr Simon, may Christ's peace be with you . Mary Zainea Taylor

Cathy's faith, strength and positive outlook helped me in my journey with cancer. We became pals at Gilda's Club, and she will always be a part of my life, in my heart and in my attitude.

Thank you God for sharing her with us for as long as you did!

I met Cathy at Gilda's club, she was a very special person and very good to all of us at the club. She will be missed.

I was lucky enough to get to know Cathy some when she visited the VanBelkum Branch Library. She was always very "up" about her condition and took it in stride. She enjoyed her books on cd and her Wednesday night book discussions at Burger King. She was a special person. May her soul rest in peace.

I will never forget Cathy's constant witness to her inner peace and serenity from her faith and trust in our Redeemer and Savior, Jesus Christ. No matter what the current physical set back, she gave us her peaceful smile. Now that she has been rescued from this sinful world, we have the assurance she is experiencing the joys of spending eternity with our Lord. Cathy will live in my heart and inspire me as long as I live.

So sorry for your loss, I also worked with Cathy for a few years at The Campbell Group, she was a neat person.
Thoughts & Prayers are with you.
