She was a real sweet person and I enjoyed knowing her so much. We did fellowship bible study together.

Clark, Kay, Wendy and Elaine and all children
I love it when I read about Aunt Kitty in these memories because not growing up near your family, I never heard her called that.  The Jack May children only knew her as Aunt Catherine - prim and proper!  I was so fortunate to get to know another side of her through our letters, phone conversations and visits.  She loved her family!  She loved hearing me talk about my genealogy findings even though she was not particularly interested in genealogy.  I will treasure the visit that Jacob and I had with her in Baton Rouge several years ago when she taught Jacob how to play Mexican Train. He still talks about that trip.  Cherish your memories and let's try to make some fresh ones with the cousins.  We will miss her!

I was so saddened to see about Mrs. Martin's death. She was always such a great role model for young/older ladies with her graciousness and talents which she didn't mind sharing with others. I first met her at Southside Baptist as a young girls in GAs and  then at Lee High when she substitute taught and finally really friends with her and Mr. Skipper since they knew my in-laws, the Webers - in fact they came to our wedding in 1966! I know her death will leave an empty space in your heart but with the Lord's help this will fill with wonderful memories of a lovely lady. Sympathy and prayers, Carol

   Our wonderful Aunt Kitty was a very special person.  She and Uncle Skipper gave us a lot of love as we were growing up. I have special memories of their home, especially sitting around their kitchen table and listening to family stories and laughing at the tales of their family adventures.  I always admired Aunt Kitty for her intelligence, her many talents, and her amazing ability to accomplish 'anything!,' and as I was growing up, I often thought that I'd like to be just like her.  
      As I grew into adulthood, I appreciated all the more, her zest for being active, her knowledge and love of family, her amazingly wide scope of interests and talents, and her deeply rooted faith.  
    Aunt Kitty, we were blessed to have you in our family.  I will miss you, but you will still bring me smiles each time I think of you.

I was sorry to hear that Catherine had passed away.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Skip D'Amico

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Clark,  What a remarkable LADY was Catherine Martin.  She and your Dad were special people.  I am sorry for your loss - you are now an orphan. I asked her two years ago if she had plans to move to Houston.  She said she loved visiting you and your family, but "home" was where she was.  She was a happy lady.  She loved God; she loved her family.  She was gracious and a beautiful person.
