"Terry and Ron, Carole and I were so sorry to hear the bad news about Cathy. I went to the church early today only to find the line out of the church, across the street and into the parking lot. I was short handed at the store so I had to leave. What a great tribute, that long line was to you and Cathy. Terry, Ron, Carole and I are so sorry for your loss. "

"Beverly and family so sorry to hear of Cathy"s passing. When you all lived behind my aunt Mae I loved coming to her house and Cathy coming over. She was was one of the prettiest little girls and I hadn't seen her again until my uncle Jim passed and she came to the funeral, so enjoyed spending time with her when she came back to the house and stayed. I remember her as beautiful, fun, and funny. Thinking of all you and praying for comfort. Love Sally Keener"

"We are so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife, mother of your daughters, grandmother and devoted friend. I saw Kathy at Jenna's Baby Shower and was delighted to spend a little time with her. One of my beautiful memories was your wedding so cold outside but a lovely bride and wedding. The flower girl dress I made for my daughter Angie that Kathy asked me to make and said, "just do your sewing talent", and the dress was just what she wanted. Time will bring you happiness and the loss of her will glow in treasured memories as you know she will be watching on all of you with a smile."
