Cathy was a lovely, wonderful lifelong friend. We met at Metairie Junior High and shared so many funny experiences and our love of choral music throughout high school. I am so thankful after so many years we found each other again in 2009. It was as if no time had passed, and we were able to see each other every year after that and communicate often. Cathy was a great friend, and she will always be in my heart!
