I am so sorry to hear of Cathryn's passing. She was on my mind this past weekend since I hadn't talked to her in a few weeks. We haven't worked together long, but we always talked a good bit about her family when she came into the office or called the office. She loved all of you deeply. Sending up prayers for your family.

Jane and Ralph, Ruth, Jay, Merrick and Charlotte, I was so sorry to hear about Cathryn. She was like a daughter to me when she was growing up. I think she lived at my house as much as she did at yours. My thoughts are with you as you navigate the next few weeks.

- Anna B Highsmith, Savannah, GA

I'm so sorry for Cathryn's passing. I met her around 2007ish when we were both in Thunderbolt. She was a lot of fun! We then worked together for several years after that. I have good memories of Cathryn. Our talks had become less frequent over the last few years but none the less, I'm heartbroken by her passing. I have a lot of funny stories & memories with her. My deepest condolences to her girls & family. Praying for you all.

After transferring to UGA I had the opportunity to room with Cathryn. She opted to live in the room located in the basement, and she never complained once. She was happy with her dog Hatfield and her boyfriend at the time. She would take him pizza from Athens to Augusta. She had chosen a tough major, Public Relations, and her courage and determination were admirable. She would take long runs and I remember her red glowing face upon returning home. I will never forget her laugh and her good natured spirit. To her family and friends, please accept my heartfelt condolences.

- Olivia McIntosh, Flat Rock, NC

Ralph, you and your family are in our prayers.

- Ben and Melissa Wells , Savannah, Georgia

We will be thinking and praying for your family. Our deepest condolences.

- Meade family , Savannah, GA

We are so very sorry for your loss. We remember her as a little girl going shark tooth hunting on the banks of the Savannah River.

- Tony and Judy Field, Saint Simons Island , Ga
