I am so sorry. Just learned the sad news. Although we never met, her heroism, good humor, and courage are very real to me. Cousin Laurie

Dear Cathy, You surely will be missed, although you will always be in our heart. Your visits we so looked forward to. I don't think we knew anyone that fought so hard, had such strength, had such love in her heart for so many people & family. You never complained, you were so giving, so full of life. You went back and forth so many times across this great country helping your Mom when she was ill visiting everyone you could including myself & Deb. We so enjoyed your visits. You have been in our health prayers for so long that it seems so strange to not hear your name there. We bless you instead. You cross the paths of so many people in life but we surely can say that it was a pleasure and a blessing that both Deb & myself crossed your path on our path of life. We will truly miss you Cathy. May you rest in peace and God Bless you and all your loving family.
