While your heart is burdened with heavy loss, may the warmth of her smile dry your tears as she lives forever in the glow of our Fathers love.
I will always be thankful for time spent with Miss Catherine, her smile and wit were infectious. She was steadfast and verbal in her faith of deliverance from any and all suffering by way of grace from our Father.
And she smiled.....she always smiled......by the grace of God may I always remember that and smile also.

I will always be thankful for the time I spent with Miss Catherine, her light lifted me so many times. She was positive in spirit and faithful to God for deliverance always.
