Cathy's family,
I just wanted to say how much Cathy meant to all of her friends at Portage Chapel Hill UM Church - she loved all and was loved by all! She did so much to help the Seniors in their involvement in the church. She was a friend to all and everyone was her friend.
She and I traveled together on several occasions -- Canada as well as many other local trips. We would get to laughing and by the time we were through we didn't even remember what we were laughing about. Her last trip to Michigan, we were out of town so I missed her then. We did have many good phone calls over the years. We all remember Cathy as her always thinking of others before herself - Just a wonderful friend. She will be missed by many here in Portage.
Her Grandchildren were so special to her as well as the rest of her family. Sherry, I would love to have you reach out to me so we might have a visit together. Either by my email or text (269-352-4442) or phone (269-327-5319).
God Bless you all
