Fred and Norma, you have our deepest sympathy. Some may consider this a huge loss for you both, however, I always say, you haven't lost anyone when you know where they are. And we all know where Cathy is because we know how sweet she was and how you raised her to live. God bless and keep you both and may He lift up the light of His countenance and give you peace.

To the Smith Family I am so sorry for your loss! I loved her as if she was mines. When she walked in the church she always had that Beautiful Smile on her face and if you felt down, just look at Cathy, she would cheer you up! Always smiling! I called her "baby doll" and she would just laugh and tell her dad Fred go sit down and he thought that was so funny! Mrs. Norma would say can't no body talk to him that way but her and she and I would laugh! Cathy would just love all over her mom, Mrs. Norma would just hug and love on her just as if she was a 2 year old baby. Every one at Lewis Chapel will miss her, especially the drummer! When she walked in on Sunday, she would say hey Handsome and he would laugh, cause that made his day! She had so much joy and a beautiful spirit about her! We love you; take your rest and keep that beautiful smile on your face in Heaven and don't forget to say every thing is good! Her favored word! GOD BLESS! Sarah Dunn and Family
