Have not seen Cathy since high school but I always think of her big smile and bright eyes. She was the spirit that would always lift others. Prayers and sympathies to her family and friends.

From sunrise to sunset, the Lord, our God reigns. Cathy's jubilant smile and kinetic energy will always be remembered. Her sensitivity and heart for the oppressed and suffering humbled, yet emboldened her servanthood as she fulfilled the Scripture "in all that you do, do it as unto the Lord."
May the sweet communion of His Holy Spirit continue to comfort and strengthen you all.
Your servant by Grace,
Evangelist Missionary, Betty Corbett

Dear Alieksaites Family,
I send peace and love to you. Cathy was a great friend to me. So many of my fondest high school memories include "Lexie" ... her laughter, her spunk, riding in her red Ford Mustang convertible playing Madonna and the Beach Boys. I will never forget her and the fun we had together.
Love, Susannah
