Sending our deepest condolences to Tony and the family. Cathy was a lovely woman who welcomed me in to her home when I first came to New York from Cleveland. She gave me a place to stay until I was able to get established and made sure I was always welcome to come over after mass for Sunday dinner. My fondest memories were of her in the kitchen making dinner on Sunday and making sure Tony made her Manhattan before letting Tony and I retreat to the living room to watch whatever sports were on...
