I wish to send my deepest sympathy to Cathy's children, whom she loved so much. Although I am unable to be there in person to say goodbye to my very special friend, the first friend I ever had, I will be there in spirit. Growing up with Cathy & Bill was one of the happiest times of my life. I will cherish the memories made with this awesome woman. Rest in peace my sweet friend. I love you.
