Cathy was a special lady in so many ways. Always ready with a kind word and helping hand. It seemed that anytime she was leaving the neighborhood and I waved her down, she was on way to help someone. There is never enough that one can say that eases this pain. You will be missed by many, Cathy.

God has highly exalted your name.
And you have been lifted on high .
You were faithful and true dear servant
With testimony you were not shy.

You worked so hard.
Now take a rest
I know you did
Your very best

I'll keep working for the Lord
And keep my spirit in one accord.
To honor you
I'll love and not hate.
And watch for you at
The pearly gate
