Cathy stayed with me for a few months around the turn of the century! She never complained about her health problems and was one of the sharpest people I have ever interacted with. She had a broad general knowledge and very quick wit.Who else would bragg that their grandmother was one of the first divorcees in Florida! She was always fun to be around and a good laugh was ensured when in her company. My life was enriched by knowing her.

Well Cat, I don't know what to say. I knew Cathy for a long time and we had some great times. I was sorry to hear the news about what happened. I think you were to young. I know that you left a lasting impression on my life. I will never forget you. God be with you or the universe.

I had some great times with this gal. We went to nursing school together and we were great pals. She had a quick wit and an enormous heart. I used to think she had the best imagination of anyone that I knew, but in fact, it was not all imagination. I think she has found some of what she was looking for. I love you Cathy.
