My heartfelt sympathies go out to the Norton family for your loss. I remember Cathy with the same smile from her days at the FYC. Cathy was one of the few stalwarts that were there for my mother-in-law Helen Hodosh in Helen's final days. Cathy also gave me my job recommendation at the SSA. Cathy will not be forgotten.
