She was a great mother and my best friend.There ain't too many people who can say anything bad about her.She had a way of listening to you and making youfeel like somone actually was listening. I will miss you baby girl. Especially reminiscing about the good imes we had as children. You always wanted to see Mama & Daddy again. God knows I miss talking to you and I will miss the way you made me laugh when there weren't nothing to laugh about!

Thank you all for your condolences. I an Cathy's niece. In one aspect, yes a seat beat may have saved her, but when the lord above says it is time to come home, no amount of seat belts will save you. I was in an accident in 1996 and the police said if I had mine on, It would have decapitated my head. I believe this is the reason she did not have hers on. They are a double edged sword.
