I will miss Cathy so much, we have always lived so far apart until a few years ago and I only saw her at family reunions. For the last 3 or 4 years we have been talking on the phone quite a bit and took a trip to pigeon forge a few years ago. She and I had a common interest in plants and what we could do with them in our yards. I always knew if I was down about something I could call her and she would have me laughing. I loved her so much and will miss her and her craziness. R.I.P. sweet cuz and friend. Much love and prayers for all of you.
