Kathy was had a sweet soul. A very special spirit. She emulated a woman of God. We had a special friendship and I will always remember her at those "special" times that we shared. God blessed all of us that knew her. I will miss her sweet spirit. Gail Towe

Mike, Matt & Courtney,
We are with broken hearts to hear of the news. Cathy was a wonderful Christian light in both our lives. Your whole family always have been so dear to us. We love you all.

Carol and Carla, it's Beth Johnson. I haven't seen either of you for many many years, but Bonnie shared your sad news. I lost my dear sister Becky to cancer two years ago, and just wanted to give you both a virtual hug. It's very hard to let go of someone so dear at such a young age. As the freshness of your grief fades a little, I know your loving memories of your sis will comfort you. I wish you and all your family the very best.

Dear Mike and family,
We so enjoyed the time we were able to spend with you and Cathy during our small group meetings. Cathy was a very special person and, even as we all mourn her passing, we know she has moved on to God's greater purpose.
Our love and deepest sympathy go out to you. Rick & Judy Cox

Mike, Matt, and Courtney,
We love Cathy so much. Her grace and love will be missed. We know she is with our Father, and being embraced with Love we cannot even understand. Blessed be the name of the LORD. We know our Lord will give comfort to her family and to her church family.
In Christ

Mike and family:
It is with sadness that I write this. Cathy was a friend and Christian example to me and my family. We attended Winter Park Christian Church for many years. We watched our children grow, and shared fun times at our "dress up" get togethers. Her smile and kindness to others will live in my memory forever. I am sorry for your loss, but I know that she will be in heaven. May God's comfort be with you and your family.
