I first met Cathy during the summer between 3rd and 4th grade. Throughout grade school, junior high and high school, Cathy and I were the best of friends. It's amazing to me that our friendship spanned 40 years. The memories of picking blackberries, dressing up Snowflake (the Siamese cat) in doll clothes and coming of age together during the turbolent 70's will forever be in my heart. I will miss my special friend. My love to Elaine and Celeste.
With love, Michele Sandfelder Mogilski

Catherine,
You will be sadly missed by your friends and staff at the hospital. The memory of your gentle smile will remain in our hearts forever. We were fortunate to have you with us for this short time. Our lives have been enriched by your presence.
