Dear Daren and family,

My sincere condolences for this immense and much to early loss of Catherine.

During my years with Pagter, I always enjoyed the warm contact with Cathy, exchanging stories about our growing children and pictures of our dogs.

I wish you much strength now and during the coming times.

I met Cathy when she joined Pagter many years ago. Over time she became more that a colleague; she was someone with whom working felt natural, with whom I could laugh and also have meaningful conversations. Travelling together was hard work, yet fun. Cathy always gave 100%. She was brave and willing to step out of her comfort zone. And she always 'made it fit'. I treasure those memmories.
Daren, Courtney, Chandler and Troy; you are in my thoughts. I also want you to know how much of an impact Cathy has made - on me, and surely on many others. I will carry her in my heart.
