I have never met someone who was so welcoming to everyone she met. Anytime I would visit her at the home she worked at, she would make you feel special like she was waiting all night just to talk to you. She truly cared for the people (both living & working) at AbSSLC and we all truly will miss her. My prayers and thoughts are with your family.

My deepest sympathy to Cathy's family. I will always remember her as being happy and making jokes, even when times were rough. She never complained or let us know she was sick. Cathy always made sure people knew they were appreciated. She had a way of making everybody else feel good. She will be missed.
