Ode to Catherine/Catherine Johnson/Aunt Kitty Cat
She was bon1 one of eig!1t But she definitely stood ap art
She lived life to the fullest And she n1ade her n1ark
She gave birth to none But she mothered n1any
She loved her friends And she loved her family
She liked to cook But she loved to eat
She kept up with the latest news And she never n1issed a beat
She always kept us laughing Now that is a fact
She will surely be mi':ised My Aunt "Kitty" Cat By Erica M. Phillips, Great-niece

The Lard is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valie-r; ofthe shadow ofdeath, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff the-r; comfort me.
Thou prepares a table before me in the presence o_( mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and merC1J shall follow me all the days o.f my life: And I will du.Jell in the house of the Lord forever.
