Dear Julianne and Family,
My condolences to you and your family for your loss. It's been quite a few years that I saw your mom last, so it was quite shocking to have read the news. Your mom was always so vibrant. We used to love hearing all of her stories and travel experiences when she'd come into Stravino's. She especially loved talking about her daughters and granddaughter.
Thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

I worked with Cathy at LVHN in the mid 1990´s. She was a dedicated nurse practitioner and dear friend. We leaned we had another connection, when she lived in Whitehall my father was her mailman. She told me he was a wonderful person. Over the years I would run into her at Cedar Crest and Muhlenberg. She always had time to talk and ask about my parents. She was a dedicated nurse and loved her family . God Bless you all.

I had the pleasure of working with Cathy and eventually calling her a friend ! Cathy will always be remembered for her funny wit, kind heart and her love of family, friends and her patients. Every time I would tell her there was patient there without an appointment she was more than willing to see them. She is the most sincerest person Ive known. We will miss you Cathy !

I had the great fortune of meeting Cathi when I was a new RN in the Intensive Care Unit. She was so welcoming and encouraging. I also had been friends with Cathi for many years after and thoroughly enjoyed her company and her bright outgoing sense of humor and bright personality. She was also so very kind to her patients and very comforting and professional when caring for her patients.
