    Bill, Marisa and the rest of Cathy’s family My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. I have known Cathy for over 35 years and what a wonderful friend she was. I have many memories of our times together and the trips we took with her first car named ‘Betsy’. I am so glad that I was able to hook up with her the last year and spend some time with her,she will always have a place in my heart.She is a wonderful person and I along with everyone else will miss her dearly. I pray for the strength that the family will need at this time to carry life on without her. Heaven has a beautiful angel that was taken away too soon. Love you Cathy, RIP

    Cathy had laughter that could be heard throughout the neighborhood on a hot summers eve. That’s how I will always remember her. Laughter is what we shared and we had a lot! Cathy entrusted me to watch over Marisa when she went back to work for a couple of years. I felt very special to be given that wonderful opportunity knowing that Cathy must have trusted me alot to keep her precious daughter safe. Cathy and Bill had a long journey in search of Marisa and what a beautiful family they are. Sadness is strong right now and tears are flowing, but when I stop I can’t help but smile because that is what I think of when I think of Cathy, her beautiful smile.

    My Sweet Precious Cat….Oh, how you lit up a room! Your infectious laugh, your smiling eyes and your beautiful, majestic presence. I will miss you all the days of my life. I am a better person for knowing you. I love you with all my heart. Someday, my sweet friend, I will see you again. To Bill and Marisa, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that you will find comfort and peace in knowing that Catherine has touched so many lives with her love and laughter. I love you both.

    I spent a wonderful year with Catherine at The Sutherland Group. She was a special person and we shared alot of really good times, even if she was young enough to be my daughter! I had been thinking about her recently. My profoundest sympathy goes out to Catherine’s family. She was just beautiful.
