"Deepest prayers and condolences to all family and friends. I only met her months ago, very dedicated and independent lady. My heart goes out to her and all that shared this long journey with her as cancer is so bad. I will mention one special person to myself and my man. Charlie was her beat of the drum and inspiration to her to carry on. She was a strong lady and the time I knew her meant so much. Rest in peace Cathy. You are now with Our Lord and Savior and pain free. Wings of glory,now you can fly high."
