    Chris and Family,

    I had no idea that Mrs. Cathy had passed. I am reminded of our early years and many memories and laughs. Who can forget the Rock 'N' Roll Express and Mid-South Wrestling? Take care of Mr. Billy Joe, and know you all have been prayed for.

    With Love

    I am still in disbelief that you have passed away. It just seems like yesterday we was with our “ladies group.” I met you 6 years ago at work. Me and you are soooo much alike. I can’t do a Diamond Painting without thinking of you. Still remember working with you. Stopping by and talking. And, no we are saying, “SO LONG.” My life has forever changed on the day the Lord called you home. I know you are not in pain. I just wished, you are still here. But, I know you had a glorious day that day that the Lord called you home. You got to see Michael whom you haven’t seen in a long time and your sweet Mommy. Until we see each other again! Please know you are already missed and we are family.
