Our condolences to all of Catherine's family and loved ones.

- Jeff & Jeanette Karesh, Savannah, GA

My condolences goes out to Catherines Family. I've been trying to find the way to describe how good of a friend she was to me. She was kind, loving, and compassionate. Even to a guy like me that might not have deserved it. But that was just the type of person she was to all. Cat you will be missed by many. It was my pleasure to have the chance to know you.

I would just like to express my deepest sympathies to Cat's family. It's always painful to lose someone you love. One of the things that has helped me to cope with my father's passing has been the Bible's promise that God will soon bring our loved ones back to us by raising them back to life on Earth. John 5:28,29 says that "...the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out..." I hope you and your family can find similar comfort.

- Bill Johnson, Orlando, FL
