Growing up with Cathy was great. We were always called granny and grandpa’s favorites. Not because we were but, because were given the chance to be around them more. You always had a smile on your face and were a happy-go lucky kinda person. You filled the atmosphere around you with joy and laughter. I know that you are there with granny and grandpa enjoying the company of angels in the presence of our beloved Jesus. Save me a place and you will be missed here until we are reunited with you. Love you and miss you.

To the family of Cathy Rae, our deepest sympathy. I have not seen Cathy for a long time, and I was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. We knew Cathy through my brother, Frankie, and were blessed to have had the opportunity to spend time with her and include her in our family gatherings. I enjoyed her and still have pictures of her in my albums and even one on my wall. I know she has left happy memories for her family. To Cathy, please say hi to Mom and Frankie in Heaven, and tell them I love them. I’m sure Mom has her arms around you right now giving you one of her great hugs.

Cathy was a sweet person, and always so friendly. She was always so good to her daddy Blake. They are together now, along with all the others that have passed.
