I would like to extend my sincere condolences to Stan, Bob, Pam, Bill, Ann, David, Sarah and the rest of the families. I have known Cathy since high school and beyond. We have been close friends. I will never forget her smiles and laughter. More recently she loved visiting with our dogs Tucker and Coco. She was a true friend and also loved deeply by my late parents. Cathy spent some special Christmases helping my mother put up decorations when I was away at college- it was one of my mother“s favorite memories that she talked about often. We had more wonderful times than there is time to write about. She will be deeply missed but I can take comfort in knowing she is with her mother, father and many relatives and friends who were waiting on her to greet her. She is no longer in pain, only happiness. God speed my dear friend.
"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget" - BJ Karrer
