Cathy was what everyone else saw; a caring, loving, charitable human being. She was very loyal to friends and family. She missed greatly those she loved, who had passed on before her. Now there must be some grand reunion. God Bless you Cathy.

We will always remember the good times we had skiing with you and the long weekends away from the daily grind. Especially the single deck double pinnocle and whipping the guys. Our prayers are for the ones left behind.

I have heard it said that it takes a village to raise a child. My husband and I are so grateful that Cathy was an important part of our son Colton's Village. Colton was privileged to be in Miss Cathy's class for two years now, and she has helped him in innumerable ways. She truly was a gifted teacher. Cathy had such a talent for instilling greatness in her students. Out heart felt condolences are with her family and friends at this time. She will be greatly missed.
Love Steve, Melissa, and Colton Holm

What an inspiration Cathy was to her special students at BEIC. Her smile and laugh will be missed in the classroom and halls. She never passed a parent without saying hello and a smile! It saddens my heart to lose her at such a young age. Love and prayers are being sent your way. April Jeff Nicholas and Paisley Walkley
