Deacon Sneed & Family, Christopher & I are so sorry of your loss. Mrs. Kat will be missed so much, it won't be the same not hearing her behind me saying "amen" when she heard something good or she can relate to from what the pastor was preaching. If there is anything we can do please let us know. Praying for God to give you all strength in your time of need.

I'm deeply saddened to hear of Kats passing, my thoughts and prayers are with all her family and friends. Kat was a beautiful person, a dear and true friend of mine, she was a great listener, a great friend, a jokester, she made you laugh when you didn't want to laugh, and she was someone who would give you the shirt off her back; she will truly be missed. May God bless and keep you all through this difficult and very sad time.
