My condolences to Vicky, George and Joey. I am so sorry I could not attend the services. My love to all of you.
So sorry to hear of her passing. I knew Cathy since I was a young girl. My sister and Cathy graduated together. I grew up with her sister so I knew the whole family. My prayers are with each and every one in her family. If there is anything I can do please let me know.
My condolences, dear family. Many happy memories of Catherine be with you. And may these promises from Jehovah God help you to endure. “Do not be anxious….but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7; Isaiah 25:8 NWT.
