Read MoreI was a friend of Cathy's from Ohio. I always enjoyed our time together, whether on our trip to San Fransisco or having dinner on Ana Maria Island. She was a lot of fun and a very smart lady. She left us far too young. Rest in Peace.

Cathy was the most brilliant PR woman ever. When my company hired her in the 1990s she put the company on the map. She had rare qualities that made her a winner and a great person. I am so sorry for the family's loss. From someone who knew her brilliance first-hand she will be fondly remembered for her passion and willingness to work hard towards a goal. Plus she was a very funny lady to boot!

Cathy was truly the greatest -- she was, by far, the best boss and mentor I ever had. There are hundreds of people like me who were mentored by Cathy. She was brilliant, charismatic, beautiful and one-of-a-kind and will be deeply missed by everyone she touched. To Brad and the O'Rourke family, I am so terribly sorry for your loss.

I was one of the fortunate people to have known Catherine as high school classmates and later as adult friends. She brought a ray of sunshine to any situation and was always sensitive to others. You will be greatly missed my friend. May you find the peace you so deserve.
