Larry and family,
I just learned about the passing of Cathy. Please accept my condolences. We have been told that the grief experienced ovejr loosing a loved lessens over time. Loosing your soul mate, the person you have loved and cherished for more than half your life, is especially grievous. Take some comfort in knowing that your grieving will lessen over time. As Willie Nelson sings "It´s not something you get over, it´s something you get through...". I find that listening to this song and "Never My Love" by the Association, the song that Bernice and I called "our song" helps me get through some of the rough times. I happily remember the time Bernice came home from the Plainville YMCA and told me she met my cousin Hilary. I told her that I didn´t have a cousin Hilary. Then she said Hilary Zbikowski. I said oh that´s Larry...you must have heard him wrong. I didn´t realize that until that day that you were Hilary aka Larry.
Remember "...it's something you get through...."

Larry & Family,
Please accept my sincerest condolences on your precious loss. If I´m not mistaken, you Larry in your youth, were from Terryville and friends with my husband Roger H. Norton. Roger just passed in August of 2023. Again, my sympathies.

I´m so sorry to see that "Zibby" has passed on.
I have many fond memories of working with her at Connecticut General (ie. Cigna) in my early days of working there.
Cathy was wonderful to work with. Always willing to share her knowledge and patience with those of us who worked for and with her.
