Our condolences to the family. Cathy and my wife Margaret used to plot on how to get me to get rid of the mutton chops I had during those days. These were only in place for a few years, so I guess their collaboration worked in one way or another. We long knew her and appreciated her friendship.
Cathy, you will always be in my memories. For inviting me into your home with open arms so that me and your son Rod could go hunt ducks and geese, from you home starting at the crack of dawn. My thought and prayers go out to your loving family. You will certainly be missed and have left a major hole in this world that can not be filled
Cathy was a classmate at Bagley High, and I remember Cathy as person who was kind to others and one who always greeted you at class get togethers. My heart goes out to the family at this sad time.
