Remember Catrina Always (ARC)

OCTOBER shouldn't be just a month of awareness for Domestic Violence and Breast Cancer. Rare Talk with Jacqueline celebrates the connections we've made and facilitated!  

We must always remember!  Catrina's mother tells her story. Catrina, at fifteen excelled at sports, was deemed a national scholar, and recognized as Who's Who Among High School students.  After high school, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English. She excelled as a TV News Producer in Atlanta. At the age of 25, she was very happy when she met her husband, a 23 year decorated soldier. He was cited by her as "a gentleman and a scholar." As a Sergeant in the United States military, she served honorably and received many awards and soldier of the year accommodations.  She was on the brink of obtaining her Master's Degree in Spiritual and Clinical Psychology when she met her untimely death, a murder/suicide at the hands of her husband. Two hours before she was killed, she taught a standing room only bible class to women at her church. As she left for the day, she told the church's custodian, with a bright smile, "I am very happy today - I am going home..." Her mother and sisters expected to see her bright smile at the arrival gate, instead she arrived in the cargo section of the plane.  May she rest in peace! Her mother, Gloria, commits to raising the awareness of domestic violence through her organization. Please visit her website at www.dddcgi.com.
