Cady was a class act who really knew her stuff. She made it very easy to know her; both personally and professionally. She always made time to share ideas, compare notes, or just listen while we vented. Our world sure could use a few hundred more just like Cady.

Cady sat beside me at work. although I didn't know her well, she & I shared stories about our dogs, which I know she cherished, & she would tell me about her horse that she loved so much.
