Not sure what to say?

Cate, you are still loved and will never be forgotten. ❤ Kim

I still think of you often, dear Cate. You are so missed by our group. We often reminisce about your talent and humor. You left us way too soon.

A shock and a great loss for her family and community. I shall keep fond memories of Cathy and Bob during their LeMoyne days - she was so smart and pretty! Such a romantic couple: he so courtly and she so sweet. She was valedictorian of Holy Name Academy; her brilliance - and bridge skills - impressed all. Peace to her soul, and to Bob, her children and grandchildren.

I'm sorry I couldn't get to the Memorial for Cathy. We were fellow CPAs at Bruner, Kane and McCarthy. She was a very good tax accountant and a pleasure to work with. Haven't seen her in many years but remember her fondly. My condolences to her family.

My deepest sympathy to Cate's family. She was such a wonderful inspiration to our quilt guild. Her keen eye for color and design gave us new insight on our projects. She will be greatly missed at our regular Tuesday meetings and especially at our fall retreat in October.

We will miss her so much at Springfield QU. I was new to the group in 2011 and she personally made me feel very welcome. She was a precious person and will be missed. My deepest sympathy to you all.

What a shock and what a loss of talent. She was such an inspiration to all the quilters at Springfield QU. She always had new ideas to share, she will be missed by us all

We are all saddened to hear we've lost such a remarkable woman. I'll never forget that she quilted my first child the most precious baby quilt, as well as one for my own mother in her last days. It was a privilege and a blessing to have known Cathy. Her children and her grandchildren are a beautiful and enduring tribute to her life.

We will miss Cate so much at Springfield Quilters Unlimited. She was a joy to be around; modest, kind, generous and talented. She gave so much to our group. She loved her family and appreciate the times she shared with them immensely. My deepest sympathy,
