Not sure what to say?

Dear Greg and Andrea,
I am so sorry to read of Cathie's battle with ALS and her recent passing. My oldest brother, Tony, that use to live in Eureka, also suffers from the disease and I know how difficult it can be. I will always remember Cathie at the Lucky Lady cooking salmon on a cedar plank and playing cards; the shopping trips in San Francisco in the coach; at the Super Bowl when the Raider's played the Bucs and the lovely New Year's Eve we spent in Las Vegas at Treasure Island in...

My heart is truly saddened when I heard the news about Cathie...Gotta tell you what a CLASSY CLASSY LADY...i remember all the wonderful times we had...the first time we meet Vegas during the Millenium...summers on the LUCKY LADY, the Central camp gang with the crazy jeep ride up in the mountains...the Coach ride to the Concerts...spending time with Cathie was like a breath of fresh air...Greg, You and Andrea are in my thoughts and prayers...I'll see you in Heaven my dear friend...

Some of my earliest memories include Cathie and fun times at Central Camp. I will miss her and think of her everytime I am there. She was so much fun to be around and always kind to me. My deepest sympathies to Greg and Andrea.

Greg and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Cathie pulling cotton trailers to the Farmers Coop Gin. She was the best dressed woman I knew. She always loved Red and Gold. She wore it well. She was a great business woman and worker. She was always busy. Always had a great personality and acknowledged people that she knew and didn't know. A very elegant lady. I will miss seeing her. Greg you and Cathie were a great couple. You also made great business partners. God Bless you...

Cathie:
Everything I read so far is so true of YOU. You are a beautiful (inside/outside) generous, kind person.
Your legacy is being lived out in Andrea.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH, THERE IS A HUGE HOLE IN OUR FAMILY BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT SO MUCH JOY HAPPINESS AND LOVE TO US.
GO GIANTS, BRING HOME THE WORLD SERIES TROPHY FOR OUR SPECIAL ONE!!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
SUZANNE

I will always remember Catherine Hostetler as she was when she hired me in 1996. She was wearing a red "Power Suit". She was a strong independent woman. She was a great cook. I especially remember the Caesar salad, and how we all used to burp garlic for hours after eating it. She loved Christmas. In fact it was a requirement to decorate the office for Christmas. I remember complaining one year about having to stop working to decorate the office. I was told I had no choice that...

Oh the wonderful times we've shared..... Central Camp, The Coach rides, Concerts, Vegas,Giants ballgames, houseboat, parties or just at work. You were always such a gracious hostess and always the best boss ever. The Cathie I will always remember was so vivacious, gorgeous, giving and a truckload of fun!! Andrea and Greg, I am thinking of you everyday as more memories come flooding back. She will forever be loved and remembered.

Greg, my heart goes out to you and your family. I will miss Cathie at Central Camp but my memories of her will last forever. So many fun times, jeep rides, and laughs. We love you Cathie.

I will always remember her laugh, her commitment to a healthy lifestyle, adventurous Jeep rides, caring heart and a beautiful spirit. She was such a inspiration to me. Love and Prayers
