  2. I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Cathy Weeks Dennis. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm.-2 Thess. 216, 17. May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer

  3. My deepest sympathy in the loss of your love one. Phil 46, 7 will help you receive the peace of God. John 528, 29 assures Jesus will restore life to those who has died. These are wonderful blessings to look forward to knowing your loved one is in God’s memory. Hope this thought brings comfort.

  4. I am so sorry to Cathy’s family and friend’s for her loss. Although we did not keep in touch much, I thought of her often. She was a true free spirit in every sense of the word when we were college mates at Campbell College. I have so many fond memories of her. In fact, her name was mentioned last week in conversation at a wedding where old college friends attended. May her memory bring smiles to everyone who remembers her. Rest in peace, Cathy.
