I didn't know Cathie very well in high school, we didn't take any of the same classes together. Actually, we did take typing together and might have had gym together. But I do remember she always seemed happy, upbeat, vivacious and confident and was always nice to me. I remember she was a basketball cheerleader, a good one, and one of the popular kids in school. I also remember she didn't believe my hair color was natural. At the time, trust me, it was! :)The last time I saw Cathie was at our twentieth reunion and learned she had her own interior decorating business. She had grown her hair quite long as opposed to the way she wore it in school and she stood next to me in the class picture from that reunion. Who knew it would be the last time I'd ever see her? It seems hard to believe she's gone. Well, whatever trials and troubles she experienced in this life, they're over now, she's gone home. It's terribly sad that two young men are missing their mother right now. I'm sure she's watching over them from her vantage point in heaven. May God bless her and may she rest in peace. We'll see you on the other side, Cathie!

I was very saddened to hear about Cathie passing away. I went to school with her from grade school thru high school. I will always remember her for her vivaciousness, her warm, friendly personality and such incredible artistic abilities. Cathie and my husband Bill grew up as neighbors and we occasionally run into each other. Last time I saw her she was so happy, she told me about a new man in her life and things were good. My fondest way back memory whenever I heard Cathie's name was the birthday beach party each of us had. I still remember the cute little purse she gave me and on her birthday party(it had to have been delayed) was swimming in the Bay, a first for me. Cathie, you will be forever in our thoughts and always bring a smile to our face. Rest in peace.
