My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. The Bible shows that God feels for those who suffer. "During all their distress it was distressing to him."
Isaiah 63:9

I am so shock to hear about Cathy. It was so good to see her friendly smile at Dr. Massie's office. She was such a caring person. She will be so missed. I will keep her family in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Cathy. She always had a smile on her face and was extremely giving. She took care of our dogs many, many times and we could always count on her. She had such a nice spirit about her and always had a smile on her face. I am thinking about her family both in Mississippi and her family with Dr. Massie's practice. Her kindness will always stay with me

I was very shocked, and still so, to hear that Cathy is no longer with us. I remember her as a happy spirit and I looked forward to seeing her when Vicki and I visited Dr. Massie with our dogs Jazzy and Annie. She could light up a room like no other. She was extremely giving and regularly took care of our dogs as though they were her own. We could always count on her to be there for us. We will miss her smiling face.

We were shocked and saddened to learn of Cathy's death today. She used to take care of our cats when we were out of town, and she was always reliable and thoughtful enough to give us a call and let us know how they were doing. She was always helpful, and we will miss her.

The last time I saw Cathy was at our Class Reunion, and we had a wonderful talk, it was so good to see her. I thought of Cathy often, as I do others from our Class. I am so sorry for your loss and I know that Cathy is having a very long talk with the Lord, and we will see her again.
