Catherine was the Johnson Familys Matriarch and most trusted confidant. She had a way of making everyone feel like they were her favorite person. She was wise, intelligent, patient, and a Mother to everyone who needed her. Everyone who came in contact with her was impacted by her gift of wisdom and her willingness to guide us with it in counsel. She always told us the truth, even if we didnt want to hear it. If she could speak for herself today, she would want you to know that although we have lost a lot, now is the time to hold on tighter to one another.
