So sorry to learn of Cathy's passing. She was such a sweet person.  It was wonderful that she and Pete attended one of our last reunions. I had not seen her in years and years- maybe since high school.  She brought pictures of her family to share. She was so proud of her daughters and grandchildren.  As with most of us, that will be her legacy.

Cathy was one of the most soft spoken, kindest person I knew in high school. She always treated every body the same.Also, was glad to see her at one of our reunions. Rest in peace, Cathy
