To my good friend Cathy. I will miss seeing you in church but I know where you are. You are with the king of kings and the lord of lords. You will truly be missed. Rest in paradise!

My deepest sympathy to the family.. Cathy and I started the 7th grade at Hillside in Montclair together and we became very good friends along with Jennifer, Desiree, and Mousie.. Cathy and Greg were the best dancers in school.. I will miss you my friend. May Jehovah keep you in his memory always...., I love you Fin.. Jeanette

Our Sincerest condolences Joi to you and your family. The times you shared with your mom will be precious memories with you always. God promises at Revelation 21:3,4 that he will wipe every tear from our eyes and death will be no more. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

With Love, Steve & Shewana White

My heart is hurting in disbelief that you are gone. I talked to you Sunday and your voice sounded stronger as through you was getting better. You told me that you was going to Joi's house for her to take care of you. The stories I could tell about the years that I lived in the house with you Dennis and Gaidi growing up. You are in a full house now with a lot of family to look after each other. I am surely going to miss you and that silly little laugh. RIP MY BEAUTIFUL NIECE. Aunt Corliss

Fin, that's what I called Cathy. Me, Cathy, Jen and Mousey have always been inseparable. I have so many memories of us growing up and the time we shared together. Our first boyfriends, leaving home to go to school, pursuing careers, traveling, living in different places, having kids, being married and on and on. One funny story I remember about us was when we first met in the 8th grade and I was having a sleepover and invited her. She said thanks for asking but my dad does not allow me to sleep over anyone's house, but you guys can stay over my house. So I told her I would ask him anyway and she said she did not think he would say yes but give it a shot. Guess what? He said yes! Years later Mr. Finnie laughed and told me and Cathy he was so impressed by my presentation of the idea and my request when I introduced myself to him, assured him he had nothing to worry about and gave him my Mom's contact information if he had any questions. I miss Mr. and Mrs. Finnie so much, they adopted me right away. I was over their house so much they gave me chores and allowance. Cathy and I are not blood sister's but we are definitely spiritual sisters God put together. When I lived in Harlem we used to tell people that we were not sisters but no one would believe us. So we just went along with it because we got tired of explaining. What I will miss most was her crazy side and her spiritual side which when it was needed, she would call on the Lord in a minute and get answers and follow his directions. Which is why I think she was loved by so many. Joi and Ray I love you both with all my heart and I am always here for you. Your mom is a rose bloomed in Heaven and grows in God's own garden and is nurtured by His care. Des

Joi and Ray...I remember when both of you were born. Your mom and my sister Jennifer were best friends from the 7th grade in Montclair. Cathy even took part in my wedding when she was 15 along with my sister way back in 1968. That's how long I've known Cathy. Jennifer is having a hard time with this as I'm sure all of you are. God has her now. Joi and RayRay, take care of yourselves as your mom would want you to.

Aunt Cathy, you are a true angel that loved your family. Family was not a word that you took lightly and for those who were blessed to be your family they had something truly special in you. I will miss you and love you until we meet again!

To my first cousin, A beautiful soul, full of love and faith, ascended to heaven, away from us, but closer to God, leaving loneliness and sadness, We will always love and miss you... Love Raheem Finnie & Family.

Although I've only had the pleasure of being in her presents a few times over the years she was definitely a ray of light wrapped in a ball of good positive energy whenever I did see her!! a loving educated strong beautiful woman she will be greatly missed

I can never remember "Aunt Cathy" without a smile. She was always smiling, always full of life and always laughing. She was a wonderful friend and "sister" to my aunt, basically their whole lives. One of my favorite things, when she, my aunt, Desi and Mousie were together, was to hear all the stories from back in the day. Cathy always saw the fun in life and found an adventure, even in small, mundane tasks. I love her dedication to her children and grandchildren. No matter what Ray or Joi had going on, she was their number 1 cheerleader and there to support. She gave a lot of love and happiness in her life and will be truly missed. My family (the Clarks) always regarded her as a member of our family and I can't remember a time when she wasn't there for us. She will truly be missed. - Morgan Garriss

Aunt Cathy we had so many fun memories together. Your Deka Boppa will always miss you and never forget you. You always took care of all of us. I loved spending my summers with you. My cousins Joi and Ray I love you. My prayers are with you and may God continue to comfort you and the Hamilton and Finnie Family

Her picture says it all...Wonderful smile, big heart and all the love for her friends and family. Too often lately this is said, "Way too soon". She lived her life the way she wanted, well traveled, and trying different careers and her love for learning....well she learned what she needed for her career opportunities. Cathy you will be missed by everyone who was blessed with your smile and kindness.

My childhood friend, beautiful smile, loved to dance and could also sing! You will be missed Cathy, glad I got to see you this year, forever in our hearts The Watson Family

To my dearly beloved cousin Cathy, I am still in disbelief that you will no longer be here to grace us with your presence. I am so sad because we had such great plans for the future once I were to move to GA this year....but now I see God had other plans. He won, he wanted another flower for his garden. I will truly miss you but I have such great memories of you and I over my life time and will keep and treasure them. Farewell "Big Head" until we meet again...HUGS AND KISSES!!! PS - say Hi to mommy and tell her I miss her dearly too.

May God bless and keep this sweet lady. What a bright light she was. Will never forget her positive attitude and friendship.

So sorry for this families loss. She was a great lady and a great MOM. Rest in peace Queen.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
