Cathie was my best friend. To say that I'll miss her is an understatement. That I was so privileged to have known her these past several years, I consider myself blessed. I know that her suffering and pain are now over and she is in a much better place. I will always miss her.

I wish to express my condolences on the sudden passing of Cathie. I considered her a special friend. She was a very special person and will be sorely missed. My only consolation is that she is in a far better place and her sufferings on this earth have ended.
