I just saw this now. Having known Cathy for a long time and met her three times, I am stunned, and I don't quite have the words. May he rest in peace in the hands of God. Thank you Keith .. she is a treasure isn't she? We can only hope this thread gives her a sense of the love, care and concern we feel for her in her moment of darkness .. ![]() ![]() |

God our Father, Your power brings us to birth, Your providence guides our lives, and by Your command we return to dust. Lord, those who die still live in Your presence, their lives change but do not end. I pray in hope for Cathys family, relatives and friends, and for all the dead known to You alone. In company with Christ, Who died and now lives, may they rejoice in Your kingdom, where all our tears are wiped away. Unite us together again in one family, to sing Your praise forever and ever. Amen. ![]() ![]() |

Cathy I am so sorry for your loss sweetie...Here always for you. Will keep all of your family in prayers. God's Love When we lose someone we love The loss seems too great to bear God sends us friends to comfort us To show that He deeply cares But in the dark hours of the night When there’s nobody else around When we feel the saddest and loneliest It’s there God’s love can be found It’s like a soothing, healing balm To soothe our broken hearts The healing oil poured over us That flows into every part We can rest secure in God’s love And know He’s by our side He holds us when we feel as though A part of us has died We can know that God will listen When we just want to talk And when we feel we need to cry We can share it with the Lord For He is always waiting there Ready with arms open wide As we pour out the hurt within He pours His love inside Our Father above loves us so much And will never leave us alone He will not forsake us in our need To face this on our own He comforts us and strengthens us And rubs us with His balm And as the dawn breaks through the night We’ll awake in His loving arms. Reminds me of the verse where Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning" |

Is it any wonder how she acquired the nickname, "Giggles"? She was ALWAYS giggling or laughing.

Here's a poem that a dear friend shared with me when my Mom passed. I hope that it will bring Cathy and her family comfort as it did for me.
To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me When I am gone, release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me. If grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust, It's only for a while that we must part So bless the memories within your heart, I won't be far away, for life goes on, So if you need me, cal and I will come, Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near, And if you listen with your heart, you will hear All of my love around you soft and clear, And then when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home" ![]() |

Cathy, I truly wish this were something that no parent should ever have happen to them, and I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
God of hope, we come to you in shock and grief and confusion of heart. Help us to find peace in the knowledge of your loving mercy to all your children, and give us light to guide us out of our darkness into the assurance of your love, in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. |
