To the Thom Family,
I was immensely saddened at the news of the loss of your beautiful daughter/sister, Cathy. May you feel God’s loving presence as He helps and comforts you. Rest in Him and rely on Him totally during this time of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family. Take comfort in knowing that Heaven has most definitely received another angel.

I will be praying for God to comfort your hearts and bring you peace. My son was born in '91, the year Catherine graduated SVHS. In Kindergarten, he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and graduated this yr from SVHS. We will continue to give to JDRF on behalf of your beautiful daughter and our son that some day there might be a cure.

I will miss Cathy every day. There is a small hole in my heart now. It will not be the same to share our birthdays without her. I will always light an extra candle and remember my dear friend. Love you Cathy!

Cathy and I went to school together, and although its been many years since I've seen her, I will never forget her infectious smile, sweet demeanor, and radiant spirit. My heart goes out to all of the Thom family and close friends. There is no greater loss than that of a child and to have that beloved sister, friend, daughter taken before we were ready to let her go. May time heal your heartache and your memories bring you comfort.

Please accept my sincere condolences at the loss of Cathreine.I cannot imagine the magnitude of your pain and there are no words that can express what I am feeling for the whole Thom family.

I have a favorite memory of Chazrine that I would like to share. While we were still in the old hospital, Cathy called to talk to Jane, who happened to be in a meeting. Cathy was in a bit of a panic because she was baking a chicken for dinner and felt the need for instructional support. I talked her through it over the phone-crisis averted, dinner a success. I will remember Cathy for her courage in her battle with this ruthless disease. Her example will be a challenge for those who love her to follow. She set the bar pretty high. Words can't express what my heart feels for the Thom family during this time of such tragic loss. You have my thoughts and prayers.

I have so many fun memories of Cathy. She was always full of love and laughter. Her smile was infectious and made you smile right away. I remember when she was a tiny little thing swinging upside down on the monkybars with her shirt over her head laughing like a crazy person. The world will miss that sweet girl. The Thom family was such a huge part of my life and my wishes of peaceful and positive memories are around all of you now. xoxoxox (Meredith Tanzer)

Cathy - you will be MISSED. You were wonderful from the first time I met you and reunited thanks to FACEBOOK, the loss of you is priceless, but the memory of you will last us a lifetime. You were full of life and energy, I wish we would have reconnected earlier, so I could have seen your pretty face one more time. May GOD BLESS you and I look forward to your memorial as I am sure it will be beautiful.
