Leo,
Rhonda,Lisa,Troy and families,
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I know Cathy is in heaven. She always had a strong faith in the Lord though all the difficult times in her life. Keep your faith and live your lives as God wants you to. Make Cathy proud, she's one of our angels in heaven now.
I loved Cathy like a sister, afterall she has been my sister-in-law for 44 years.
I will pray for all of you to be strong and loving to each other.
I love you all.
Celie

(I agree with Mr. Jerry Juan -
Mama, Mrs.Lois and Cathy are cooking up something in heaven.)

2Co 4:14 We know that God, who raised the Lord Jesus to life, will also raise us up(Cathy) with Jesus and take us, together with you, into his presence.
Palm 116:15 Precious in the sight
of the LORD
is the of his saints .

Psalm 37:28
For the LORD loveth judgment,
and forsaketh not his saints ;
they are preserved for ever:

Roman 10:13
For whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved .


1 Thes 14: 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive
[and] remain shall be caught
up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with
the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort
one another with these words.
Home at last...
