Lee and Susie Iam so thankful for the lunch we all got together, and took pictures, we had so much fun. My friend Hannah was with me, she loved all of you, on the first meeting, remember?

Cathy was one of those people that left a lasting impression. We went to school together for 3 years in junior high but she became one of those friends you never forget. We were somehow able to stay in touch occasionally even though we only saw each other once in the last 35 years, the memories I have of those school girl days will always be treasured. I was truly blessed to have known this wonderful woman. To the Church family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless, Kim

Cathy, You were such a pleasure to be around. Always funny, always thoughtful. So many peoples lives have been touched, family, friends, patients, and many old clients who still can't find anyone who did their hair as perfect as you did back in the day. You accomplished so much, worked so hard and were so brave. My prayers and deepest condolences going out to the Church Family and all whom are mourning this passing of a beautiful person who is now one with the "Angels in Heaven".

Cathy will be so missed by so many because she touched all who came into her life. She was my Rock n Roll buddy at Mclane and turned me on to many great bands and most important she introduced me to the wonderful Church family. My deepest sympathy to all the family and especially you Brandon. Hold your head up high and know your Mother was one heck of a Lady. I will miss her beautiful smile. God Bless

To the entire Church family, you have my deepest most sincere condolences on the passing of Cathy. She truly had such a kind, giving personality. Her smile and soft demeanor touched all those who knew her. We can rest assured she will be looking over all of us that loved her. Celebrate the times we all shared with her, that would be her wish for us I am sure. One day we will all witness her beautiful smile and warm embrace again.
