Cathy L. Katt(Fm the service spoken by Karen)

February 26th, 1954- December 11th, 2014

During my time to reflect on Cathy's life, I will refer to her in the present tense because she is here with us today in spirit and in memory. Cathy IS my mother-in-law but we have dropped the in-law. I always call her momma or momma Cathy she calls me her daughter along with Kayleigh and Kaitlyn they are her daughters as well. I say she IS my momma because she will live on in my heart and in my memories so therefore she still lives on. She is here with us today wondering why we are all crying in sadness and not rejoicing with her. She is not feeling any pain, she has no worries, and she looks beautiful all the time. She is with Juanita her mother, Debbie her sister and Dale her father and most importantly, God her heavenly father. She couldn't be happier. She has a deep love for the word of God and tries to live accordingly but because she is human, she has her difficulties. She is a wonderful listener, gives without ceasing, forgives without question, and loves with a deep passion. Some of us could take a few lessons from her including me. Whenever she goes out, she always dresses perfectly for the occasion. I remember her taking hours to get ready just to go to a Dr. Appointment even if she felt absolutely horrible. She would take hours to get ready to go to the bank or even out to lunch through the drive thru. She doesn't want to be seen without her make-up and hair being done. Cathy always puts a Coca-Cola or two in her purse for later when she goes out anywhere. She also loves her Hershey syrup in milk. She can't go without it, heaven forbid there is no chocolate or someone drinks her last Coca-Cola her favorite beverage. She loves to sit down and look at old photos with her family and tell little stories about each picture. She always has some kind of cute story to tell about her three sons or about any one of her 7 grandchildren. Whether it is about Jeff sneaking up on her or about Josh, Jonny, and Jeff dressing up as pro wrestlers for Halloween or the 3 of them calling each other their brotherly pet name's during an argument. Her little princess Irelynn, her only granddaughter that she loves cuddling with when they make a visit to Fort Wayne , Dylan and Christian she is a second mom to and would video record them outside playing and capturing them on camera whenever possible , Jacen and Truxtin her little men she love's talking on the phone with their little voices are so precious I remember her telling me, Justin and Jason she may not have known as well but still loves and always asks how they are and what are they up to and would tease them about various things like a belt for pants or having nice curly hair. She loves it when Thanksgiving comes not only for the good food and family but because Kaitlyn would do most of the cooking. She really loves her cooking. She would spend all of her cell phone minutes just talking with Kayleigh and the kids on the phone expressing how much she misses them and that when they have the money, making the trip to visit them. Last but definitely not least, Randy, she would refer to as her loving man. She is just as much in love with him now as what she was the day they married. There is no doubt she loves her boys and her family to no end and would call them every day without missing just to make sure they are having a good day and doing well and would tell them at the end of each call I love you because she felt each day is a gift and tomorrow is a mystery. I know she did this because I would sit on the sofa and hear her call them and I would hear her conversations sometimes with them. With this being said she loves all of you here and wants you to recall a fond memory of her and rejoice in the fact that she is free from pain and worry. I will miss her physical being but she lives on in my heart and memories just as she lives on within yours.
