Cathy E. Schmidt

I remember all the fun times we had together living so close to my cousin. You always had such a big smile on your face I will always remember.

I thought of Cathy this week--her ability to show love and hope right to the end. Her memorial service continues to inspire me. It saddens me that you have to miss her, because there is so much to miss. I'm glad this world is not the last stop for us. How dispiriting that would be! May God continue to bless you.

Greg, Wesley and Hope, My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Although Cathy and I had not seen each other in many years, I will always have beautiful memories of the hours that she and I spent together practicing and traveling in trampoline competition. We were syncronized partners and spent many hours together. I have always cherished our close friendship as young women. Her genuine smile and uplifting voice is forever with me and many.

Greg, I am so sorry to hear about Cathy. My sincere condolences to you and your family. I'm glad that I got to meet Cathy, she was a kind, compassionate loving mother and wife. Take comfort in knowing that she willbe watching over you and the kids. I thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

i loved having you in class at the dojang. you were one of the strongest people i have ever been aquainted with. my family and i will miss you very much but are ever grateful to have known you and your family. you have bettered the lives of many whom you have encountered. much love. god is watching over your family and friends.

Greg, when we met you and Cathy at one of the “neighborhood meetings” at Wheaton Academy during the interminable zoning process and discovered that you had been James Ritchie’s roommate and were brother to Carol, it felt like you and Cathy were old friends. I was always happy to get to talk at soccer games, garage sales, phone calls about special education, etc. I wasn’t surprised to hear that West Chicago had one of the best special education situations in the Chicago area due in no small...

My condolences to your family. Cathy and I went to Hallstrom, Lincoln and East High together. I have so many great memories of her. We would ice skate at Churchill Park in the winter. She was a very good skater. She would skate with my Mom. I recently found the pictures from my fourteenth birthday party that included a pic of Cathy. She was one of the most cheerful people I have ever known. She will be missed.

I was very saddened to hear of Cathy's passing. She was always such a sweetheart (through Hallstrom, Lincoln and East). My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Greg - It's been many years since we shared business discussions, laughs, and good times at IMRA Conferences, but I remember how much I enjoyed spending time with you and Cathy. I am so very sorry to hear of Cathy's passing. I wish you and your family the peace that time and happy memories can bring.
