Cathy J. Clarry

Where do you keep all those smiles? You always have one for me when ever and where ever we meet. Do you save the ones I give you? No, you must pass them along to others and get new ones for me, because the smiles you give to me are always so fresh and special. I know, you must have big pockets. No wait, just a big heart. Where do you keep all those smiles?

Where do you keep all the songs? Some you sing to share with others, others you sing when you're alone to remind you're...

it's time i write a sweet farewell to my best friend, my college roommate, my sidekick, my humor, my loyal and true, Cath. i can't say goodbye; everywhere i look i see evidence of her every, "HI, WHAT'S UP?", her stubborn refusal to let life get her down, her wicked grin and willingness for mischief.
from the very start we were in/or getting in trouble, the athlete and the artist. in her first letter to me, she said, "if opposites attrack, we're golden". we were. for 31 years and many...

Sincere condolences to Cathy's family and friends.
I first met Cathy at one of the dance weekends, probably Lansing or possibly Toronto. She was always so much fun to be around and yet serious too. We often shared teaching stories, especially in June or August. Sadly though, our skating family has lost another valued member. We will all miss her.

"Just like an Angel, you came into my life one unforgettable weekend, 29 years ago, and swept me away from my far-too-loud-and-busy World. Quieting my mind, enchanting my dreams, and showing me what love can be....Cathy, you were always a great friend, and I'm sure you are an Angel now.

Cathy could walk across a room full of ball bearings and remain loose and limber enough to stay on her feet...she was a skater! The fate of her fall is still surreal to me (and I've had a war story or two myself). Calendars, day planners and Palm Pilots are an illusion; even as we make entries, we know we may not keep them. Cathy had a natural, 'no holds barred' approach to life and her skating talents. She always welcomed me with a hug at our dance w/e encounters. Her unique presence will...

Cathy had the intellect, physical ability, and passion to embrace everything she did. Many years ago, Cathy invited me to join in a dance weekend in Orillia, Ontario... that was the beginning of many memoriable times with her.

She was always up, and enjoyed the friendship and fun when around her fellow skaters. She will never be forgotten.

We, her close Canadian friends, will never, ever forget the very real and very honest and very sincere and lasting friendship we had with Cathy. She remains very special to all who shared her enthusiasm and love. We will miss her very much.

Will miss your smiling face at dance weekends.

So sorry. Barb D.

My first time to meet Cathy was also my first Dance Weekend - Lansing. She encouraged me to dive right in and do the dances I knew. As the years passed, we saw each other at Dance Weekends and lately at Test Sessions and little Competitions. She always had a succinct remark to cover the situation. The world will miss her humor and her ability to be encouraging to others. She will be attending the Dance Weekends in spirit throughout the years.
