All of us at the Ozark Trading Post would like to say to Randy and the family how sadden we are about Cathy. Vikki and I had a visit with her last fall and she talked on how she enjoyed the cruises and that you all would be going in December on another one. If we can do anything, please give me a call.

Lynette & Stacy - I was completely shocked and saddened by the news of your mom's passing. I know this has to be one of the worst things that you will ever go through and I am sad that it has come. Please let me know if I can do anything. I will be praying for you both and for Randy as I know he has to be shattered as well. Heaven has another angel named Cathy to look down on her babies and grandbabies. Love, Debbie

Randy,
I didn't get to know Cathy well, but meeting her a few times (when Leon was in the hospital) was enough to tell how special she was. Just hearing you talk of her, I know she was a wonderful mother and grand-mother.
Just as you are always there when I need you, know that I am here now, wishing I could say or do something to help.
Your CSC employee and friend,
Jane

I am so sorry that we can't be there for Cathy's Memorial service. She was my special "little" cousin and even though we didn't see each other very often, I always loved talking to her. We seemed to think alike about a lot of things. I will be writing letters later, as this isn't a very personal forum, but wanted to let all of you know that my thoughts are with you. Beth
