Aunt Catherine was a pillar in the church where we were raised. Although she was 98 years old it is hard to believe that she is gone. Our hearts are going to miss her, but I rejoice for her. The saints of God look forward to, being with our Savior forever.Take your rest Auntie for you ran a good race and left a good legacy.Praying for Cathy, Marion Bernice and all the family!
