LOTS of childhood memories both at our home in Ryland Heights as well as Aunt Barbara's home in Covington. We had such fun and were a motely crew. We played ball in the street with all of the Holmes stars and did not think anything about it. Cathy was FAST! Since there were several tracksters in both of our families, we were able to watch each other race at track meets. Cathy was a one girl wrecking crew since she did sprints of all distances, hurdles, and some field events if I'm not mistaken, etc. I kept trying to get her to try distance, but she never seemed to see what the attraction was in running lap after lap. Sprinters!!! You gotta love 'em!
We are all getting at the age where we have more years behind us than ahead of us. That is certainly sobering. It makes me give serious contemplation to what I will say to the Lord about my life when I stand before Him and give account for it. We all have to answer the same question in that moment. What did we do with Jesus?
We wish the Rump and Mersch families our deepest condolences. Losing cousins that we grew up with is losing part of our childhoods. We send love and sympathy to you and hope that you will find peace in thinking about all of the warm memories you had with Cathy. God Bless you!
