Dear Cathie never to be forgotten only remembered. We didn´t see each other often but when we spoke there was a feeling of friendship that was always there. I wear a necklace she gave me almost every day. It is so me and she knew me. So in a sense she is with me everyday. A loving presence that erases the loss. I miss her

Dear Cathie is no longer with us. But she lives in my heart. I think of her at least once a week. She lives through her children and grandchildren. You as her family were her reason for living. But Judy and Rosaleigh you are the receiver of her her kindness and goodness and you both will be the mother she was. Love to you both Joan

Judy,Rosealeigh so many days I just think of mom. I get a tear. Didn´t see her as often as I would have liked but friends exist in a place that doesn´t require nearness. I and Joe so loved her. You all were her pride and joy. She still exists in all my yesterdays, todays and tomorrow. I just loved her. Love to hear about you 2 girls and your families love Joan

I was so very sorry to hear of Cathy´s passing this morning. We have such happy memories of our trips to Long Island and NYC to meet up over the years. A kinder person you couldn´t meet and one we were so proud to call our cousin. Condolences to Ro, Judy and the wider family. We will have you all in our prayers.

My heart breaks that I was away and did not know of Cathy´s passing. She was very special to me and memories of our friendship in South Salem are dearly held. She was a wonderful woman who loved her children beyond words. She will be watching over her family because I know leaving them exceeded the pain of her illness. My deepest sympathy to Judy and Rosaleigh. She will always be with me,lovingly Joan
