Missing you so much. Holding you close in my heart and my actions ❤

Howdy!! As I sit here in the green mountains that are my new home, I can feel Cathy's spirit with me. She was such an inspiration to me. Like a leaf holding on tight to the maple tree in late fall, Cathy clung to this physical earth and the company of friends and family as long as she could. She lives within me as a bright warm glow in my heart and a smile at strangers that I don't even know. I am sad that I could not join you all in person. I greet you all and wish for peace in all of...

Dear Mrs. Richmond, Becky, Kurt, John, Liz, Mary Jane, Paul, Emily and Will,

Our hearts are broken over the loss of your beloved daughter, sister, mother and wife. All of you showed us what love, hope, dedication and being a family is all about, by the way you loved and rallied around Cathy during her most difficult days, and never left her alone. We know how difficult these past couple of years have been for all of you. Cathy was so loved by all who knew her. We continue to...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Cathy

You are forever in my heart and I promise to live my life in a way that honors your compassion and your spirit -- this is the only way to fill the void in my heart. I love you and your incredible family whom I have adopted as my own. Until we meet again

My dear and loving friend Cath...I love you and miss you and your legacy of love, respect, genuine understanding, care and concern for your family, friends and co-workers. She maintained her personality and independence to the end of her battle. Your unique spirit and loving kindness will be greatly missed by many people, near and far from Manlius! May God's love and peace be with you now and always.

I went to school with Cathy. NEVER would she utter a negative word about another. Cathy was genuine, kind, caring, and above all a wonderful mother. I connnected again, 25 years later, with Cathy through facebook. She had not changed..She was even MORE genuine, kind and caring. The difference I did witness, was her heroic battle against cancer. She shared her treatment modalities, her ups and downs, her lights at the end of the tunnel, as well as the darkness, and most of all, shared her...
