Cathy & Jerry were our neighbors at Greers Ferry lake. Many wonderful stories. I love them both very much. Some of the finest people you’ll ever meet. She will be missed dearly. May God bless her & bring peace to Jerry and all the family. I am so sorry. We just found out. There’s not enough Makers Mark on the earth to make this right. Be strong brother.

I have spent many many summers on Greer's Ferry Lake growing up with Cathy! She was always so so sweet to me and my family. I rode on the boat with she and Jerry as a teenager thinking it was the coolest thing ever! I'm now 41 and still think of them every time I pass by where they had a place on the lake. Cathy was one of a kind and her memory will always be with me!

Cathy (Waffy) such a beautiful soul inside and out. Every-time I would be in Rogers to visit there was never a moment we all weren’t laughing and carrying on. I loved her spirit so much. So blessed to have loved and known her.
