My sincere condolences for the passing of Cathy. As a young girl growing up next door to Cathy and Tony, they took me under their wing as sorts. It is the first time I learned about arthritis. It was the first time I learned about art. They were very generous with their time. We had a somewhat newly built garage with nothing but tools hanging on the walls. It was an open canvas to them. I believe we were the only, or one of the few, who had ocean creatures painted on their garage walls. It was a sweet memory of them whenever I walked into the garage after they had moved.
Tony and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
