I knew Cathy through the Dislocated Worker Program. Her bright smile invited a converation at my first quarterly meeting. Cathy became a good friend and coworker. She always talked highly of her husband and the boys. She will be greatly missed. Even though our friendship was short, I will always remember her warm smile and funny stories.

Shawn & Family,

I find it very difficult to come up with words to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. As Richard Coen said in church today the day will come when you will be able to see Cathy again and oh, what a day that will be. You and the boys are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mowry Family,

We were very saddened to hear of your loss. I worked with Cathy at the Mattoon IETC for several years, and in all that time, I never saw her without a smile or a pleasant word. She was a very sweet lady and will be sadly missed. May God bring you peace...

Cathy will be missed by me and I pray for her and family. May God bless each one of you. I have known Cathy for a few years as co-workers, I work for the Dislocated Workers Services at Kaskaskia College in Centralia. Cathy will be missed at our annual and quarterly events and she was a wonderful person that enjoyed fun. I thank God for our paths that crossed. Sorry I can not share in person due to my illness. Again, I pray for the whole family.

With Deepest Sympathy Always, Judith Meeks-Hakim and family

Cathy, you’re a very special person and I know why God called you home. You touched my heart in a way that most people will never know. I will never forget the time that we spent with family and friends(Notheast Gardens). I hope that one of the first few people that you see on your new journey is your brother and my mom, I have no doubt that they were both waiting for you to arrive with open arms and now you all are rejoicing, just like old times. Kathy, until our paths cross again you will be missed!

Shawn & Boys,

There are no words that can express how sorry I am for your loss. I know this has to be a very sad time for all of you and I want you all to know you have so many people that love you and will be here for you. I did not know Cathy as well as I did Stacey of course but I do know she was a kind person and a wonderful mother. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
