Aunt Kat lived all of her life for the day she could stand before her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I have so many fond memories of her as a child while we were attending McCorkle Freewill Baptist Church. She would testify that she was excited about the Lord’s coming & she was ready to go. I can hear her voice saying that over & over. She was surely a sweet little woman. She witnessed & touched so many lives during hers. To the family I offer you my condolences but rest assured Aunt Kat’s suffering is over. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Until we meet again ….. RIP.
She was a wonderful and godly person-rest in peace
