Cathy is survived by her daughters Amanda and Ashley (Adan), stepdaughters Christine (Dennis, Giselle) and Melody, and her beloved grandchildren, Cassidy (24), Nico (17), Tyler (13), Ethan (8), Kasen (2), and Jaxon (7 mos).

My favorite memory of Cathy happened few years ago when Amanda and Cathy stayed a few days at my home in SF.
We three crawled under the covers in my bed and watched the first Royal Wedding live starting at 4am.
We laughed and cried and savored every minute.
Cathy was unique. She had a way about her that mesmerized both friends and family. I´m sorry she left us early but know she´s with Jim and all is well.
My condolences to the family and sending
Oceans of love and hope,
Craig
