I am sorry to hear of Cathy's passing. She was always like a breath of fresh air. Always smiling and laughing. Very seldom did she not have that big smile on her face! I worked with her at Gilster Mary-Lee for quite a few years. She always made work fun. I sure did enjoy working with her. Mostly she loved her family. She will be missed by all who knew her. My sincere sympathy to her family.
