I remember Catherine as a beautiful young woman. We were in Young Life together. I was intrigued by her uniqueness.
My heartfelt condolences to her family -- her parents, her husband, her children, & grandchildren. I was truly saddened to hear of her death. I have been praying, and will continue to do so, that you feel the arms of your Heavenly Father wrapped tightly around you during this time of great grief. It is such a reminder that we do not know when our appointed time is. Therefore, let us make each moment count!
Blessings to you,
Carol Cook Miller

Catherine's brother, Dr. Robert Morris, has been the minister of my parent's church--First Presbyterian in Jacksonville for many years. I did not even realize until now, that his sister Catherine was in our high school class. I am sad I didn't get to know her. I am sure she was a wonderful person!
