Dear Chuck,
To hear of Cathy's passing is very sad. At Sacred Heart Hospital, we were classmates in the School of Nursing. I don't think I ever remember Cathy without a smile on her face. To me, she was always a lady, a kind and gentle soul, and someone I admired greatly. May God bless Cathy and may God bless you and your family.

Dear Chuck and family, we are so sorry to read of Cathy's passing. Although we haven't been in touch the past few years, I've thought of both of you often. Cathy was one of my favorite friends from nursing school. She always had a kind face and smile, plus an infectious giggle. I can picture her as if it were yesterday. Please take care of yourself and know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Rita Matyas O'Brien and family, Sacred Heart Class of 1962.
