Though I never met Cathy in person I know Stephen (Ted) well and know Courtney, Amy and Larry well enough to know that Cathy's amazing personality lives on in her kids and grandkids.

In the stories and pictures you've all shared I see a familiar outgoingness, generosity, and love a enthusiasm for life that Cathy left as a gift to all of us in all of you. I am forever grateful for the inspiration I've received from you, her lovely family. May she rest in peace and may all of you find peace and comfort as well. less

She was generous with her love and reached out often by phone to let us know we were loved. Her love story with Uncle Ed gave us hope and confirmation that if one is open to finding love, at any age and under almost any circumstances, that love will find you. We're grateful to Cathy for our wonderful cousins - Larry, Teddy, and Amy. Stephen and I share your loss and love you forever and always. less

Cathy helped my brother enjoy life to the fullest. I must say they were made for each other-... moreCathy gave my brother culture.

We shared many laughs, she was witty, funny and often times very serious. I will not forget the time she had me looking up, down and inside out for a book that was in her walker bench the whole time. We shared some laughs and some frustrations but she had a good heart and will be thought of often. May the family find peace through this difficult time with all the memories they hold dear.
