Virginia "Cathy" Cathryn Turnbull

Cathy was a kind, loving woman who lived for her family and friends, and always helping others with their problems. She lived for the Lord and always attested to that. She was at peace with the world and grateful to God for her loving family and His mercy. God’s mercy was always there for her and helped her get through life struggles. When she got married and went to Germany, she wrote these words;

Two grateful hands to thank thee Lord, whose blessings never cease;

Two gentle hands to ask that God grant all enduring peace,

Two faithful hands to glory the Father and the Son.

Two willing hands to toil until the Master’s work is done.
