I posted this comment on the RHS website a very long time ago...   Randy Talley just contacted me  on Sept, 18 2024 telling me he married Cathy's sister, Beth. I am so full of gratitude that he did contact me. I want to cry.....  I saw of picture of Beth and she looks so much like Cathy..   I loved Cathy soo very much... boo hoo. 

Later , Bubba Bostick told me Frank had pasted too.. then ofcourse , Fuzzy , as well... ALL my best friends .

Cathy and I were roommates at North Texas State University.   She later married Frank Cowen whom had graduated from Richardson a few years ahead of us. Cathy was a nurse and commuted to Dallas from their home in Denton. On the way home from work she was killed in a car accident on that crazy highway that goes to Denton. Off hand, it was around 1975. 

Cathy had one of the purest hearts I know and was so full of life and love.   She had no enemies but many friends whom loved her dearly. Frank once said, “Only the good die young”.  She and Frank loved country living and they seemed to be the central driving force that many of us would gravitate to for community and friendship. Some of us were from the good ole days of high school but a number of friends were from college days.  Fuzzy was a dear friend of theirs, as well.  Jim Carter  ? even commuted to NTSU with us one semester when we were taking a break from dorm life.  

I once had an eerie conversation with her, and she must have had a premonition about her death for she asked that I watch over Frank.  She was so worried about him, if she were to die.

Yes, her death was a huge loss to many of us and I still count her as one of my very best friends in this life, which I can count on one hand. 

I have lost touch with Frank since and everyone else, for that matter. I do wonder how he is doing sometimes.

I loved her dearly,
