    I’m so sorry to hear that Cathy has passed. I knew her from St. John’s. She was always smiling and such a sweet lady. After my sister-in-law Lisa was killed more than 23 years ago, Cathy always made sure to share her fond memories of Lisa. I enjoyed following on Facebook your trips to Alaska and visiting grandchildren. She was sooo proud of her children and grandchildren and her love for all of her family definitely shown through her posts. Prayers for peace to you all.

    This was a shock to find on here as I just saw her last June and she said nothing. Cathy was always a joy to talk with and walk laps at the Relay for Life. Hugs and love
