My friend, it has taken me all this time to try to put into words how much you meant to me, how much you gave. You were given more tragedy in a few years than most will ever know in a lifetime. Thank you for being my friend, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal" I hope you're finally at peace with Ronnie & all the other loved ones gone too soon. My love and prayers to the Mazzeo family.

To the Mazzeo family, I am deeply saddened at the passing of your beloved Cathy. I can only hope that you can find solace, that she's in heaven at peace with her departed family members and husband Ronnie. I will miss her beautiful smile and her friendship. We had some good times working together at Dapper Dan's. She had such a big heart and always had something nice to say about everybody. Taken too soon from those who love you, I will see you again someday. Cha

Before my father passed Cathy was an unimaginable type of stepmother, my favorite friend,soulmate, and the best confidant I've ever come across in my entire life. I know in my soul and everything I wake up for is that my father has you again and you have him. I love you it hurts so much, OLIVE JUICE & 143 FOREVER AND EVER. I look forward to seeing you so happy and content when it is my time.

I believe, in my heart, that Ronnie, Dad & Mum greeted you with the type of warmth, love and light you only find in Eternity. So it's that blissful image I choose to hold close to my heart as my tears fall and my moments of missing you begin. I wish for you peace and comfort and someday, we will giggle about inappropriate everything's again. Sleep well and know you are loved. :: "There is a sacredness in tears. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and of unspeakable love." (Washington Irving)
