Ali,
I went to PA school with Cathy. There was a group of us girls that would get together some to eat, drink, laugh, cry, vent about school etc. We all graduated, moved, started our careers and families and I am sorry to say most didn’t keep in touch. I sat by Cathy in class alot and I just thought she was a hoot! I also remember how much she loved her Danny(at that time she called Dan that but I can only imagine how awesome she was at being a momma too!) I was devastated to hear Cathy died. I never knew she was in this fight or I would have reached out- for that I am sorry too. Even though I only knew her a short time- her impact was real! She really is one of those people who imprint on your heart and soul! I have read some on the YSc boards- I do see God was working through her and touching so many there too. I wanted to make sure I could send money to the site you have listed or if there is something else she wanted can you pass it along. I will share it with the few others that I have email for from school. She was truly an amazing woman I am deeply saddened by this but I will strive to live more fully and love more deeply and work on fighting this disease. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Does this site give you access to my email? I hope so. I really want to help. My preayers are with Dan, Danny and all her friends and family. Thank you, Tara

Hi Alison:

I am Cathy’s cousin, her mom was my mom’s younger sister. I left the Chicago area back in 1984 and moved to Colorado so I haven’t seen Cathy in years. when I would go home, I would see my Uncle Vince (Cathy’s dad) and her brother Kevin but Cathy was busy with school etc. Well when my mom called last night to tell me about Cathy’s passing she said that my uncle had told her that Cathy’s husband wrote a beautiful excerpt on the web and I thought I would search for it and found your blog instead. I want to thank you for sharing your friendship, memories, pictures and Cathy’s struggle with her illness. I never saw Cathy as a young woman and wow she was beautiful nor did I ever get to meet her son. So I thank you again! I am sorry for your loss also.

if i had a nickel for every time i see cathy rolling her eyes at me in my mind every day, well… i would have to get one of those industrial coin rollers.

so much love around her. i can “hear” it while talking to alison over the course of the week…

airports are tough places, honey. the “business ghetto” — as i have called it in the past….

stay strong.

I am from YSC too. If it makes it easier, the ladies will come here. I will start a separate thread to let cross post your link.

We love Cathy so much. What a joy to have her in your life.
