It's been a year and I would like to share my wonderful thoughts of Cathy. It's going to be the story of how we met and how fate plays its role.

In the summer of 99 I moved to Tanglehood in Palm Beach Gardens and Cathy's daughter Heather lived in the apartment above mine. We would see each other occassionally and say hi, although my boyfriend at the time was "the nice one", I guess I wasn't as friendly so I was called "the mean one".

I began working at Bankrate in October of 99 and I think almost a year later Heather started working there too. That is where my lifelong friendship with Heather began. We started inviting each other over our houses for dinner, parties, dinner parties, anything to just have fun and laugh. After a few months I was introduced to her mother and sister. It was absolutley perfect timing because I had no family down here and my relationship with my then boyfriend had just about run its course. Cathy, Heather, and Courtney became my local family. Cathy treated me like a son in everyway. There wasn't a birthday or holiday that I wasn't made part of and she always wanted to give more than she should. It was so wonderful to be around a loving family that loves with all their heart and are so real about life. No holding anything back! That's what I'm talkin about!

Time passed and I grew closer and closer to all three of them. I was blessed so much to have them in my life and to be treated with such kindness and generosity. We went out for dinner a few times a month and the stories I could tell, I'll save that for another guest book.

Heather is my soulmate as far as friends go. I will never lose touch with her ever again and she's stuck with knowing me forever too. :)

As for you Courtney, there isn't another person on this planet as special as you. You'll always have my hand to hold. :) She really likes holding peoples hands. It's super sweet though.

Michael I didn't really know that well but I've had a few brief meetings with him recently and he's a funny guy that loves to work out. I'm so glad that he's there to support the girls.

In closing, Words can't express the warmth in my heart, the memories in my head, and the love I feel for this family.

Cathy lives on everyday thru her children and animals.

Love you All

It has been a year since we lost Cathy, although it seems like yesterday. I know we all miss her so very, very, much. Heather & Courtney, we think of you often and hope that you are coping with the loss of your mom with God's help. My thoughts and prayers are with Cathy's girls, her sisters and her mother. We miss our Cathy every day.

I miss my friend Cathy every day! I miss sharing the good and the bad things that happened in our daily lives. I miss the secrets we would try to keep. I miss going to eat and the movies together! I especially miss laughing at the same things! I didn't know I could ever miss anyone as much as I miss Cathy!

I MISS YOU CATH..... LOVE YOUR SIS.

Dear Heather, Courtney, family and friends

It's been June 12th, and it used to be Cathy's Birthday,

but 8 months ago she passed away.

With the next poem, I would like to support everyone who misses her.

'Hopefully I can bring a smile on your face!'

Smiles!

Smiling is infectious,

you catch it like the flu.

When someone smiled at me today,

I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner,

and someone saw my grin.

when he smiled I realized...

I'd passed it on to him!

I thought about that smile,

then I realize it's worth.

a single smile just like mine,

could travel round the Earth!

lots of love

Dear family and friends of Cathy,

Today I heard of the death of Cathy, it was very shocking for me. I was in 1996 for 2 weeks at a holiday with Jolanda at Cathy's home. In those 2 weeks I have seen and felt that she was a very special and warm person. I wish you all strenght and many beautifull memories to her. Karin Goossen and Sil Voorhuis (my wife)I'm sory for my bad english.

This is very difficult to write. Cathy was a co-worker, friend and my MS support person. She had a heart of gold and always spoke very highly of her family. She will be truly missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Well, it's been almost a month since since we lost Cathy. It is still difficult to accept her loss. My thoughts continue to be with her family. Cathy was such a kind, giving person--I will never forget her concern and kindness toward me. To you, her family, I wish God's blessings and comfort.

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with both Cathy and Julie over the years. They are both lovely ladies and I am blessed to have known them. Cathy was a loving, caring, selfless lady and I will miss her greatly. I keep the card that was handed out at her service on the sun visor of my car and I greet her every morning and ask her to watch over me as I go about my day. She was an angel while on this earth and is now our guardian angel in heaven. My deepest sympathies go out to her family.

For nearly two weeks now, I've been trying to find the words to put on this page (and I'm so rarely speechless!)

Cathy meant so much to me! Over twenty years, she taught me about friendship, about honesty, hard work, and selflessness. She taught me - and showed me - how to be a good mother and nurse.

When I went to school in Miami, we weren"t able to see as much of each other as before, but our bond was still there.

I am richer and better for having had Cathy as one of my best and closest friends, and she will live in my heart and guide my spirit forever.

One of the most fortunate events of my life occured roughly thirteen years ago when I met my dearest friend, Heather. In the years since I have grown incredibly close with not only her, but her family as well.

I watched Heather and Courtney grow into the wonderful people they are today, and Cathy was like a second mother to me. Nothing will ever be able to replace Cathy in this world. She was truly a beautiful and unique person filled with wisdom and compassion. She was never afraid to speak her mind or stand up for what she believed in. She always had room in her home and in her heart for strays of all kinds (humans like me included).

Her death was a shocking tragedy, and words can never express my sorrow and the love I feel for her. But Cathy will live on in our memories and I have many, many fond ones. Remembering those great times filled with laughter always makes me smile.

October 19, 2005

Dear Heather & Courtney:

We were stunned and saddened to learn of your loss. We hope your cherished memories keep you close in thought and heart to your Mother and her love. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

To all the wonderful friends who knew Cathy and my family: Words cannot express how wonderfully comforting all of your kind words, thoughts and prayers have been during this difficult time. Cathy, her children and her family are so lucky to have so many people who are so caring and loving and who have taken the time to send cards, emails, prayers and who took the time to attend her services. All of you will forever be in our hearts for helping us to get through such a terrible tragedy. I know she is watching over us now and I know that she has seen how much so many people loved and cared for her. I believe that God gives back to people who care and love as much as she did and that is why Cathy was so loved by so many. She will be in my heart forever and there will never be a day that I won't think about her and miss her with all of my heart and soul.

I thank the heavens above that I had the opportunity to work with Cathy, if only briefly. We had personal conversation that stands out in my mind. I had worked at one time with Cathy's sister, Julie. So we started talking about Julie, what she was doing now, how happy she was, and then I asked how many other sisters she had. Eight of you all total, I gasped!!!! Names, please! She recited the names, and then I asked, where do they all live? She broke out in a big smile and said, "I'm not sure I can remember!" She went on to tell me about her girls, her animals, her mom, and every expression was full of love and caring.

She will be sorely missed. But I am so grateful our paths crossed.

May the road rise up to meet you

May the wind be ever at your back;

May the sun shine warm upon your face;

and the rain fall softly upon your fields,

and until we meet again,

May God hold Cathy in the Palm of his Hand.

Cathy will be greatly missed by family and friends.

Sincerely,

Kathie Simon

Cathy Doll was my beloved mother.I was the first to find out about her passing and it was such a shock.I still can't believe it.Actually I don't think it has hit me yet.At her service of friday the 14th I got up to speak about my mother.The room was filled with people that loved her and her family.She would ask me if when she died who would come to her service.I always said friends and family.I wish my mom was here and could have seen how many people loved her.She was the greatest,funniest,strongest,most handworking,loving,and most beautiful person I have ever known and will miss her untill the day I die.I still can't believe she is gone.I just want to thank all the people who cared and loved my mother.Me,my sister heather and brother michael loved her and always will.I will never forget her.I wouldn't be the person I am today if not for her.Thank you

We are all so lucky to have known Cathy. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. Heather & Courtney, she loved you two so very, very, much. You were both the light in her life. Cathy spoke often of her mom and sisters with much love. She was a true care-giver, and my best friend. I will miss her laugh, her sense of humor, her thoughtfulness, and knowing she was always there when you needed someone. She will always be in my prayers.

To Cathy's family. I am so sorry for you loss. I was never lucky enough to met Cathy in person, but we emailed often about the stray cats she was taking in. I was so thankful for all that she did I even sent her a check to help out with the expenses of raising those little lost kittens. She was such a wonderful person I wish I could have met her in person. You are very blessed to have shared your lives with her. I am so sorry your time was cut short. She was a wonderful person with a heart and soul full of love. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Courtney and Heather:

I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am about the loss of your mother. I do know the two of you were what she lived for and she loved you very much, as well as her son and grandchildren, her many sisters and her mother. Cathy was the most giving person I have ever known, and she was always concerned about other people and would help anyway she could--those she loved and those she didn't even know. I know of her to give to people less fortunate when she probably didn't have it to give, but that was the kind of heart she had. I always admired and respected Cathy as a co-worker, but since leaving PBMC have gotten to know her more as a friend, and even to see more of her giving and caring heart. During a recent tragedy in my own family she gave me such support and her "Dr.Doll" wisdom, and I never expected any less from her! I will miss her beautiful smile and her laughter that could brighten up the worst day--and her silly e-mails--but mostly knowing I always had a friend who truly cared from her heart--I do know she is watching over those she loves and she will always be your guardian angel!

Heather & Courtney:

My heart felt sympathies to you both for the loss of your mom. You have lost a mother who loved you both very, very much. She told me many times how proud she was of both of you. I know you will miss her, but she would want you to go on and have a wonderful life.

The world has lost a kind, bright and vibrant soul and your mom will be greatly missed by all of the people whose lives were touched by her.

Cling to each other, love each other and always be there to help each other. That is what your mom would have wanted of you.

God bless you and keep you.

Two yellow tabby cats "found lost " by my daughter many years ago was my first contact with Cathy. Little did I know then that we would someday work together at SDSBS.

She was much more then a " Cat lover " She was a people lover as well. It was always an honor and a pleasure to have a file to work on with Cathy. She cared about every case and the people behind each case.

We will miss you !

Knowing Cathy, I am not surprised that she is loved by so many people. Almost 2 years ago I had cardiac health issues. I often would go to her office and she would take my pulse and listen to my heart. She was a skilled nurse and always very helpful. When working with her she would often talk about her family and how much she loved them and cared for them. I will miss her. I pray for your comfort and peace during this trying time.

" Dear Heather and Courtney"

Wish it weren't so far

to where you are...

but time can't erase

the memory of your laughter,

and miles can't diminish

Your mom was a very special friend to me, we laughed and cried together. I'm really thankfull, she let me into her life and got to know her and the two of you.

Heather and Courtney,

I'm convinced, she will we be watching over you as an angel.

warm thoughts are there with you!

I've known the Doll family for many years and have many fun memories of Cathy and her daughter Heather Kuhn. Memories like days at the beach, sleepovers, and our trip to Sanibel Island. I met Cathy and Heather when I was in the 2nd grade (1986), and lost touch sometime in 1995. I want to express my deepest sympathy for the entire family, and especially my friend Heather.

Cathy Doll was a co-worker and a very good friend to me. She drove me to and from work for three weeks this summer when my car was in the shop for repairs. She was one of the most caring people I have ever met. I will miss her terribly.

My condolences to her daughters, her mother, and her sisters. She spoke of her love for her family often.

To live so far away across the ocean has always been very hard, especially now,

but you know you're always right here in my heart.
