It is with the deepest sadness that I learned of Catherine’s passing today. Please accept my sincere sympathy for your whole family on your loss. I have such wonderful memories of growing up with Catherine through our teen years…she was just the best friend, always generous, giving, and looking out for everyone (including the furry ones). Lots of memories of fun times with our school friends in Kanawha City, Camp Bluestone summer camps, and wonderful beach trips to the Outer Banks…and simply going through the ups and downs of the teen years. I was so blessed to have had such a special person and friend, Catherine, in my life. Again, I am so sorry for your loss that seems way too soon.

Thinking of you all at this time. We have such happy memories of spending time with you in Charleston and Lewisburg. We will always remember Catherine as a friendly, kind, thoughtful, loving person. Was always very sad that we lost touch after we left Charleston.
Love to you all. Maddy, Tim, Cameron and Rhianna Green. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Heartfelt sadness from the Ed Knight family. I am at the The Seasons in Lewisburg because I cannot live at home alone due to a stroke. Read about Catherine today and send love from all the Knight family. Sadly, Whicky Knight
