It is a wonderful gift when a patient in my pharmacy feels more like a friend! Every time I saw Cathy we chatted on about this and that...I will personally miss that. She brought sunshine in the door with her every time she entered it. I'm deeply saddened that she has left this earth but I know she is smiling down on us from heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
