I wrote the following tribute to our dear Catherine last week in the hopes that I would be able to find someone to read it at her
services on May 15, 2017, however, I have been unable to do so. I am posting it here in her memory and honor, as my personal
tribute to a good friend and remarkable woman.

Many of us got to know her through her on-line radio talk

show, A Place In Your Heart, which was broadcast internation-

duct an interview with me, I was dumbfounded. I had never
thought of myself as an interesting subject for an interview, but
she insisted that I had a lot to say and that she wanted to de-
vote an entire show to me and to my books. Catherine saw
potential in everyone she ever met or talked to, often long be-

Catherine M. Gross - April 13 at 7:07am

Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too
bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when
you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And
the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first
place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more
drab and empty for their departure.

Catherine M. Gross is daughter, sister, a friend and
child of God who created a PLACE IN YOUR HEART
where she knew that she could grab us as one, a quiet
place to hear the beautiful thoughts that would put us
in a place so sweet as roses that grows. Catherine M.
Gross, Now she can grab those roses with thorns and
carry them to heaven, and she will be filled with so
much love and happiness because she touched each
of us in her own way. l can remember in 2013 l was in
Illinois and was so ill and Catherine called to check up
on me. She was in Chicago and l was in the southern
part of Ill. near St. Louis and a town called Belleville,
and it was winter. One thing lead to another and l told
her it would be best that you stay there because you
know how much the weather changes in your area,
but to have someone that you have only met on line
that wanted to come that far... that is pure love and l
will always remember that each time l see a cardinal
or a blue jay as they sing. It will be the sound of my
friend Catherine M. Gross. l love you very much and l
will so miss you. l am so glad l did meet you in Gary.
You are the example of an angel brought to this earth
to touch. Rest in peace my sister You are free and you
will always be so beautiful. When the bird sings I thank
you for your special friendship and being there when l
needed a special ear MAY you rest in peace.
Rip Catherine, You will be sadly
missed by all who came to love you
here on Facebook... my sincere
condolences go out to your family
and friends.

Before I became a Minister of the Gospel of Christ, Catherine M. Gross befriended me when she was a Minister,
serving at the Apostolic Church of God (ACOG) in Chicago, Illinois! Our friendship was only diminished at that
point when she left that church: we have not seen each other since!
We constantly communicated however! And I did not know of her passing until the fifteen minutes before I began
to write this post!

I know something of the loss of a loved one for I am a member serving at ACOG of its Home going Celebration Team!
To the Family of Catherine M. Gross, you have my condolences and you are in my prayers!

In Jesus' name: Let it be that God blesses the family and friends of Rev. Catherine M. Gross with HIS comfort, signified by
the love and comfort shared by them in memory of Catherine! And let it be that at those special times, that they remember
Catherine's love for them in the memories of her in their hearts, and they will smile! Minister Reginald Griffin

This is what Catherine

did for everyone she
was in contact with.

Until We Meet Again

I've spent the day working on a painting of Miss Catherine M. Gross in order
to deal with the shock of her passing. I don't know what I would have done
without her a few months ago. She was and is a light in the darkness, that
will shine in my heart always. I will miss her so much, but I know I will see her
again one day. I love you always Catherine. ~Trish Overbay~
A Place in Your Heart was created by Rev. Dr. Catherine M. Gross specifically to lift
up the fans of Michael Jackson.

In her words: Our purpose to help others remember him, and not the negative me-
dia attention that he gained throughout the years. A Place in Your Heart will also
showcase other groups that have causes which promote his legacy positively. Love is
a verb. So we will be making a conscience effort to make sure our purpose is not for-
gotten. We are not going to sit around and dream about love. We believe if words can
make someone hate you..then words can make someone love you. We are building a
love wall. If words can make you hate someone, then word's can make you love them
as well. We are going to get the word out in a variety of ways! This is a love campaign
for Michael Jackson.

I was moved to create this special magazine tribute book in honor of Rev. Dr. Catherine M. Gross as a small token of my love and apprecia-
tion. She deserved this and much more. I tried to find as many posts left by friends on her personal and group Facebook pages. Please forgive
me if someone was left out. It was only because I did not see your post. Catherine had thousands of Facebook friends and Im sure you all loved
and appreciated the work she done inside and outside of the MJ Community. I had not spoken with her much in almost two years, but isnt it
strange how God work? It was just a few weeks before she passed away that we had reconnected. Catherine had been dealing with other
projects and battling an illness as well as myself. I pray this tribute book will bring some comfort to those who love and miss her. A special
thanks to Ms. Valencia Dantzler for reaching out to me, volunteering to attend the memorial service and present the Letter of Resolve to
Catherines family. I also thank her for the video she recorded during the service. You can make a donation in Catherines name to the
Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago. http://epilepsychicago.org/ Im sure she would have loved that. God bless.
