She was so wonderful and welcoming to me when I visited my mom, a nearby neighbor, while my dad was similarly sick. She really brought so much warmth to all of us.

I knew Cathy from our days at Clinton School, SOJH and Columbia HS. My sincere condolences to your family. Had a super crush on her in 7th grade and gave her my ID bracelet to wear, all part of growing up. She will be missed I'm sure by many friends.
