Deepest sympathy to the Hoyt and Hargrove family from The Grayson Family.

As children, Cathy and I used to play together when Catherine would bring Cathy to work with her. We always had such fun together. Rarely a day goes by that I don't think of Catherine and I'm so thankful for the large part she played in my upbringing. My thoughts and prayers to each member of the Hoyt/Hargrove family over the loss of Cathy. The entire Hoyt family is very dear to my heart. God bless you. ~ Christine Richards Latham, Nashville, TN
