I have so many wonderful and precious memories of time spent with Cathy. Together we commiserated over our children and kept each other strong when life went a little lopsided. There was nothing we couldn't share with each other and that kind of friend does not come along often. I know her sweet spirit lives on and will continue to bless us just for having known her. Prayers go out to the family that they might find peace and contentment in the years ahead.

So sorry to hear of Cathy's passing . It doesn't seem so long ago that you , like a kid on Christmas morning, gleefully introduced me to your girl fiend Cathy ! And I'll always remember Cathy and your hospitality and generosity when my buddy and I at your house in Florida many years ago ....especially Cathy getting the snakes out of the pool so we could go in !
My wife and I wish you and your family Christ's peace during this terrible time.

What to say about Cathy.... there are no words. Cathy's kindness and gentleness has made a lasting impact on my life and on many others I am sure. She taught me about love and loyalty, friendship and courage, strength and wisdom. She was a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, an employee and a boss - and she was great at all of them! It is rare to find someone like this. I believe she was able to excel in all these areas because she never put herself first; she was always thinking of others.
Cathy will be sorely missed by many people because she touched so many lives.
I only wish I knew her longer - just think how much more I might have learned!!
We have had the great pleasure to live next to Cathy and Chas for almost 10 years now. Cathy was always such a sweetheart. She always gave special attention to the kids in the neighborhood, including my two young daughters and even our dog. She will be sorely missed. Sending thoughts, prayers and all our love to Chas, Chris, Matthew, Kelley and family. Love, John and Amanda

I know you're here with us all in spirit!
