Dear Family of Cathy,
We were only a part of Cathy’s life for a short while, many years ago. From the moment she bought my sister and I a bottle of wine called, “Bitch”, We knew we loved her! I am looking at that bottle in my wine cabinet right now and missing her. I remember taking walks up north, and the time we drug her to Traverse City at 4 am, to go black Friday shopping in a blizzard. Her name came up often, as she was just such a neat person! Our sympathies to your famil. She had a heart of gold and we were shocked to hear this sad news.
