I was absolutely heartbroken to hear of the passing of such a sweet spirit. She would often stop at my table at THS to chat and we were building quite the friendship. Such a beautiful, warm personality. I will miss her dearly. Heaven has truly gained an angel. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Rarely do I find myself at a loss for words, but this is one of those moment. I will always remember your soft voice and bright eyes when you were asking a question or became excited about something. So, I will just say Farewell. I believe when you got home the bells were ringing and the Angels were singing "Welcome Home!" Love You!!!

Sometimes, it's hard to understand
Why things have to be, but in His wisdom
God has planned beyond our power to see
God watched you as you suffered
And saw you had your share
So, He gently closed your eyes
And took you in His care.

I will always cherish our friendship.

Love Always,
Michelle

I used to know Cathy due to her father and my father knowing each other for years and I was proud to have known her for as long as I have and it breaks my heart that she is gone. She always put a smile on someone's face by her smiling. I will always remember that and miss it also.
