A Prayer for Cathy’s Journey Home from Susie Cordell
My Prayer for You, as You Take Her Home
Heavenly Father,
I lift up my heart to You, not only in grief, but in love-love for a man whose heart is breaking, and love for the soul he carries now with reverence and devotion. Lord, You know the depth of what they shared—a bond forged in faith, in laughter, in tears,
a love that reflected Your own abiding love. You called them together for a season on this earth, and now You have called her home.
But this journey is not over. He walks a sacred road, carrying her once more—not just in body, but in spirit, in memory, in promise. As he takes her home to family, as he prepares to lay her in the place of rest, be near to him, O Lord. Steady his hands. Shelter his heart. Let each mile be filled with grace. Let every moment be wrapped in holy peace.
Jesus, gentle Shepherd of souls, guide her swiftly into Your eternal light. Comfort him in the quiet places. Let him know she is not lost, but found— found in You, in eternity, in glory. And as he honors her life with every step he takes, may he feel the prayers that surround him, the love that walks beside him, and the hope that will hold him until that beautiful day when they are reunited in Your presence.
Mother Mary, enfold him in your mantle. Saint Joseph, protector of families, stand watch over this journey. And may perpetual light shine upon her as she rests in the peace of Christ.
Amen.
I continue to lift you up as you take this sacred journey.

Cathy and Tom were God sent to me through one of your Office Staff who took pre nursing biological Science class with me at Southwest Tennessee Community College. I thank God for enabling me to meet your Parents. Children and some of your friends. You both have been a light of blessings for servant-Leadership roles from God in Tennessee, Sierra Leone , Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 & Mozambique 🇲🇿. May your experiences with Jesus Christ now and forever help multiply your goodness to all Children of God! Cathy, continue resting In Peace ☮️
God bless you and Cathy and keep you safe in this journey.
Tom and Cathy took my husband and me in after Katrina ! What a blessing for us. Work, a Navy command , could not decide whether to stay in Memphis or return to New Orleans. (BRAC was going on at the time.) Such a gracious couple. I can never thank them enough. Cathy, you are missed. Tom, I hope to connect again. Sending love. Dean and Linda
What a beautiful tribute to two precious people who will always be an example of what love of God and each other is all about.
