Oh my god, I feel like the floor just dropped out from me.    Prayers to mark and her family.  I am so sorry for your loss.  Red was steerplanet, this place would have never been half of what is without her.  The kindest, nicest, person on here.  I can't even think straight right now to type more.  (angel)

What?  I can't believe this, just a couple of days ago she was headed to OBE.  My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.  Her knowledge and wisdom will surely be missed.  Rest in Peace!    (angel)

Ditto. I can't even think well enough to add anything right now.  Prayers are with her family. I feel like I've lost a party of mine now. I'm betting she's chasing some rascally calves or baking something on God's farm now though.  She was and will continue to be an inspiration to me.  (angel)

So sorry to hear this!  I remember a post within the last couple of weeks Cathy saying how good she was feeling, and getting back to the chores and her regular schedule.  I'm truly glad for that.  She has been an inspiration to us all.  SEE YA LATER RED.............................

As Cathys passing is a shock and a tragedy to many we are sure that God new when her time was and wanted to make her last days joyfull. They went to  OBE Friday and she had  the best day she has had in a year. She enjoyed seeing many of here friends at the expo and even had a little workout in the hotel gym, Cathy went to sleep Friday night and God called her home. She will be greatly missed will let known the arrangements when informed. Thank you all for your support and prayers.

We all have lost a wonderful lady. My thoughts and prayers are with Mark and all the family members. She was always a voice of reason and thoughfulness. She will be missed by everyone... including us who never met her in person. I got to know Red from the inside out and I saw a wonderful lady. This is very sad news.......

Adding my thoughts and prayers to the family. Red will now be running and dancing in the presence of her Lord, no longer having having to live within the limitations of her mortal body. I am sure she will be missed greatly be those who knew her personally as well as those who have gotten the chance to know her here on the planet.

Like someone else, I read this and my heart just fell thru the floor.  I can honestly say that I feel honored to have gotten to know Cathy.  Your family is in my thoughts & prayers at this time.  I have so much more to say but I just can't get it into words at teh moment.

 Our thoughts and prayers will be with Mark and Cathy's immediate family along with all of her Steer Planet family. She was always here for us with a calm resolve. I regret that I never had the chance to meet her in person to give her a big hug and tell her what a strength that she has been for us and many others. She'll have to get her hug later. Condolences from Brent & Joni and our family

Oh Cathy -- I can't be reading this -- not now -- just when you were getting soo much better.

As most every one knows, I am usually full of gas -- but I am lost -- I have no words.

I will cherish the days we worked together to get the donated flush drawing put together, you and Woody -- I remember all the calls we had talking of sick calves and what you thought I would do -- oh dear God in heaven -- take care of our lady -- she is special!

With tears and prayers for Mark and family -- I am without words -- good bye friend, we love you!
