Dear Phil, Lissa & Anne,
I came to know Cathie through the many fun rafting trips I took with Phil. I always knew Cathie was the organizer of each trip, and her arrangements made it care-free for the rafters. Our international couples trips were especially fun. Her travel skills were really evident when Edie and I went on the epic Hannibal, Missouri, trip, complete with her arranging for Mark Twain himself to provide the after dinner entertainment. Cathie was a very classy, smart, and of course, beautiful woman, who filled the room with her smile and laughter. Edie and I keep many wonderful memories of her, and we send each of you our condolences and prayers in this time of sorrow.

My beautiful Cathie. I miss you terribly, but that is me being selfish. You are rejoicing with our Heavenly Father and I will see you soon. Your friendship has meant so much to me and I will keep you alive with all the beautiful memories of our fun times with Sophie and Phil and Mack and Mia. You are a kind beautiful soul and you will always be remembered as my bestie. We could solve the world problems with our talks. Thank you for loving me and I will always love you. Your family has to carry on without you, but I will keep a watch on them. In love, Stacy

I met Cathie at the U of A, where we were both Kappa Kappa Gammas. After college, we shared an apartment in Little Rock with Mindy Roberts Hooper, went on a fun and memorable vacation in Acapulco, Mexico, and attended church together. I was also a bridesmaid in her wedding. In later years, I didn’t see her as much, but I look forward to spending time together in Heaven, praising the God we both love.

I was privileged to have Cathy and family as dental patients, for many years. I loved having her in our office with her outgoing and friendly personality. She always brightened my day and will be missed. Prayers and condolences to the Malcom family.
