Dear Wilma, Don and Matt,

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Cathy.

While we cannot know your pain, for your pain is a result of your own special love and life with Cathy, we do remember you in our thoughts and prayers. And we know that through our faith in Jesus Christ, Cathy has now received the peace and love of God the Father. Cathy breathes a new air! Celestial air! Praise be to God.

May God grant us strength and courage for every new day, until we too have the blessing of that new morning. With Love and Deep Sympathy, Linda & Cindy

Cathy was my first cousin. We are all so much richer for having known and loved her. She gave so much, was such a true Christian, and never complained. When I saw her at Lutheran Hospital, she wrote me a note saying, "I'll be okay." I know that she is!
