Catherine Brooke McGraw

Cannot believe it´s been a year since Catherine passed. I still miss and think of her often. And somehow I still feel her presence - that´s the kind of light she was/is in the world.

Catherine was a wonderful colleague: smart, competent, and warm. What a wonderful smile she had too! I'm so glad to have had the privilege of working with her at Mount Holyoke.

The news of Catherine's passing is so very sad and untimely. I knew Catherine when she was at Mount Holyoke and remember her with so much fondness. I send my deepest sympathy to her family. She will be missed and not forgotten.

Dear Barbara, John, Adam, Eliza, Jack, George, Catie and all, This is such a lovely tribute and there is so much more each of us could say - Catherine was an exceptional person and a lovely light in the world. I feel her presence still and always will. As her neighbors up the drive, Jon and I are keeping tabs on the house and kids! We and the whole village that Cat grew around her like a lush forest will be here to tend to her legacy. We are deeply saddened yet honored to have known her,...

I am so saddened to learn of Catherine´s passing. We worked together at Mount Holyoke when she was our interim director at the Career Development Center. Catherine was a strong, dedicated woman who was a constant support. Words could not be more true when saying how important her family was to her. Her children were the highlight of her life and she shared so many stories about them with us. I will cherish all our memories.

My heart is broken learning of the news of Catherine´s passing. Catherine and I worked together at Mount Holyoke College and made several trips together to Washington, D.C. to meet with graduates who were interested in mentoring current students for careers in D.C. I have always remembered those trips. Catherine was such a truly kind person and a joy to be around. My heart is broken that she is no longer here. My most sincere sympathies to her children and family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Barbara & John, My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Catherine was a special light in the world. I am so sorry for this devastating loss. Big hugs, Anne (Baker)

Barbara and John, I am just heartbroken thinking about your loss. I have such fond and loving memories of Catherine - from family gatherings at the A-Frame in West Virginia to smaller gatherings, and most recently at Bethany Beach. I looked up to her the way younger cousins admire their older cousins. I saw her as so smart, crafty and kind. You have all been on my mind and in my heart. I hope that you find some comfort in knowing how sweetly Catherine touched the lives of so many; I hope...

Catherine, we will miss you. May her memory be a blessing.
