Just heard of Cathy's passing.
I went to High School with her. We reconnected years later when I met her again at CPMC while working with Dr. Yeh in the ICU.
So sorry, shocked, and saddened to see this. She was so fun, beautiful and full of life.

To Michael, Patrick, Roan, Dick, Mary and all the Walsh and Yeh families,
We were so sad to hear about Cait's untimely death. Sincere condolences to you all.
Cait took great care of my husband and I when we stayed in her home in LA in 2015. She was the perfect host and really couldn't do enough for us. She was a great tour guide and took us to all the hot spots including Marilyn Monroe's resting place.
Cait also took us on a tour on UCLA, both of us nurses, we had lots to talk about and it was great getting a private guided tour from her.
She was a fanstatic wife and mother and will be sadly missed.
Rest in Peace Cait,
Elaine (Mulchrone) & Johnny Toohey

To Michael, Patrick, Roan, Dick, Mary and all the Walsh and Yeh families,
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grew old,
He made her smile of the sunshine,
and He moulded her heart of pure gold.
We were so shocked to hear of Cait's untimely death, RIP. We cannot imagine the pain and grief you are all going through. We are thinking and praying for you all at this sad time.
We were so delighted to have you all in our home in Westport, Ireland. She was such a lady and so proud of her wonderful boys.
Rest in peace Cait,
Peter & Carmel Mulchrone
Westport, Mayo, Ireland.

So sad to hear of Cait's passing. She and I were in Girl Scouts and Sea Scouts together in high school. And I reconnected with her years later at UCSF. I remember her as beautiful and energetic when we were in scouts and she had matured into an accomplished woman and a loving mother when I saw her years later. My deepest condolences to her husband and family in this difficult time.

I had many wonderful conversations with Cait during our probably hundreds of hours volunteering together at our kids National Children's chorus over ten years. She loved her family, loved being Irish, loved being a San Franciscan, and loved to laugh. She had a beautiful and generous soul. She was beautiful both inside and out.

Oh dear, oh dear oh dear...
I am so saddened and shocked to hear of this untimely death.
To Michael and their two wonderful boys - I have no words. I am so, incredibly sorry for the loss of such a beautiful wife and mother. I wish I could take this pain away. I can't imagine what you're going through... but know that I am sending loving thoughts and hugs.
To the entire Yeh and Walsh families - my heart goes out to you and I am sending you hugs. Please know Cait was deeply loved by so many, including me - someone she worked with to create videos for the fall prevention efforts she championed - and she left a wonderful, lasting impression on everyone she encountered. Her inner and outer beauty was something to behold.
I am so, so sorry...

Cait was a loving cousin who will be missed so much. We may have only reconnected in the last 10 years or so but we all have happy memories of visits to Ireland, US as well as here in Wales. Our thoughts are with all our American family at this very sad time. We can't be there in person but we're thinking of you

Dear Michael, Roan, Patrick, Dick and Mary and Cait's siblings,
We are so shocked and saddened to hear of Cait's passing. Our conversation went back to the time you visited Ireland and the opportunity we got to meet you all - three generations. Wonderful.
I remember Cait dancing a reel to traditional Irish music in the Angler's Rest, much to the pride of her Dad and Mom.
Our deepest sympathies to you all.
May Cait rest in peace.
From the Meehan family, Leixlip, Co Kildare.

I am an old acquaintance of Cait's from our dancing days at Barefoot Boogie in San Francisco in the '80s and '90s. I remember one time she sewed dresses for a group of us girls- each dress was the right size and each dress was a different color. I remember how hard she worked to become a nurse.
I send my condolences to her loved ones, remembering the lovely person that she was.
