Cathy was one of the finest people I have ever known, and her passing at such a young age is tragic. My heart goes out to her husband, her kids, who have lost their mother far too soon, Mike and Cheryl, and the rest of her extended family. I am extremely saddened; truly, only the good die young.

We did not know Cathy, but know her sister, Cheryl, quite well. If Cathy was anything like Cheryl, she was a kind, caring, and very sweet woman. May you find comfort as you mourn Cathy's passing.

Damian and family- I am so sorry for your loss! Cathy was such a wonderful person. I remember our days at the Valley and how much I missed you both when you left us for the "Kaehr Bear!" May God hold you in his arms and bring you comfort in the days, months, years to come.

Even in the middle of her own struggle she continued to have a heart for other people. She touched the lives of so many people both co-workers and patients. May God bless your family. OrthoIndy -downtown office

Damian,

Words can't express my sympathy for the loss of your amazing wife Cathy. I met her on my externship with Orthoindy in 2008 and have had the pleasure of working with Cathy at the 1801 location this past year. I will always cherish the kindness and compassion she showed to me and everyone she met. I'm a better person for having the chance to meet and work with Cathy. She is dearly missed and Downtown will never be the same without her.
