I haven't seen Cathy in years, but she never left my heart and memory I thought of her often. My heart goes out to her family, she was very special to me, we both shared a love for animals, and I repected her drive for independence... May Jehovah God comfort the family in this great loss, Sincerely

Dear Family Overton,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I so wish that I could be there with you. I have many memories of playing with Cathy, Dana, Mark and Todd - especially skating with our socks down the long hallway. Cathy had a sweet spirit that I'm sure touched many lives. As we already know, the loss of a loved one is hurtful to those left here, but I will look for her with anticipation when it's my time to go.
With Love,
Mary Perry Welch
