Cathy was a true friend to me. She always said that I was the little sister she never had. Thank you Cathy for taking me under your wings and treating me like family. I'll forever cherish the memories. Sleep in peace my sister.

Cathy was a great mom and best friend to my mom. I stayed next door to her for years. I remember for the entire summer she BLAST the song Candy Rain by Soul for Real. Everyday around 12 noon until the streets lights came on. I know you are resting in peace. To the family I can not say I know how you feel, but I can say that I'm praying that you will some how find the strength to deal with her death as time goes on.

To your family especially your children , God is saying to Cathy well done welcome home. She loved her children most of all. A soldier.I can show you better than I can tell you attitude .
God took the best Cathy the one who was Glorifying his name. You see God love soldiers too. She has gone to prepare a place for her family and friends to pray for us so we too can live in Heaven to lay our eyes on the Glory of God. Children, you had such an incredible mother and now you have an Angel. I love you .
