Not sure what to say?

I worked with Cathy at ABMC for a little over 1 year. She was such a joy to be around. She always had a smile on her face. I started work at 5am in the Transcription Department and more then once had to call Cathy in the wee hours of the morning for assistance. She never got mad and always said "I'll be right in!" She was so thoughtful and generous. My heart goes out to all of you. May God and Cathy watch over you.

To Cathys family- We are the ones who are in pain now that she is gone but she no longer has any leaving behind only beautiful memories of caring and generosity. I was so overwhelmed with sadness when I got the news of her passing! I only knew her for a short time while working on the new computer project at ABMC but in that time I came to enjoy her company and miss her smile when she could no longer be a part of the team. Take Care and be good to yourselves. May God carry your family through...

I knew Cathy through our employment with the Alexian Brothers, both in Hoffman Estates and then in Elk Grove. For a time, we used to sit next to each other work-wise in Hoffman Estates. All my memories of my encounters with Cathy have been shifting through my mind since I received the news, and I can honestly say that every one is a sweet and good memory. She was generous! She was thoughtful and helpful and she gave good advice too! Cathy, I am missing much, but I am certain she knows a...

I am so very saddened to learn of Cathy's passing. I had the honor of meeting and getting to know her while we were classmates in the medical transcription program at Harper College. There were only three MTs in our entire class, so we became quite close. I will always remember Cathy as an extremely kind and generous person. She always had smile on her face and was always willing to help anyone at any time. I will never, ever forget her laugh! :) She will be greatly missed! My thoughts...

Since I worked parttime and on the campus of ABMC, when I came into work and Cathy was there instead of Neihoff Pavilion, I knew the day would be brighter because of her presence. I have a granddaughter who is 8 so we could share granddaughter stories and when the Bears were playing, there was joy or lamenting. I know coming Fall, Cathy will be wearing her Bear's sweatshirt and have a seat on the 50 yard line and even know the score in advance. As a family, you gave her a wonderful life...

To the Black family ;Heaven holds no sorrow that heaven can not heal When you look upin the sky and see the stars on a dark night just know that Cathy is watching over you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To Jeff, Keith, Danny, Johnny, My Deepest Sympathy are with you. I work with Cathy at Alexian Bros. She was a wonderful person. Always had a smile. I saw Cathy & Jeff walking down the hallway of the hospital they were holding hands. You could see how much they Love each other. She spoke of her sons with such Love. I will miss her very much.

It was a honor to have you as friend and co- worker. You will be missed. My Sympathy to Jeff and the Family.
