Tom Hilyer wrote a sympathy message

“I am so sorry to hear of Cathy's passing. Though we had not stayed in touch much over the years, I'll never forget our time together at Providence and all the wonderful experiences we had as young people in the youth program. My prayers are with the families. I know this is a very difficult time for all. May God's peace surround each and every one of you. I am not able to make the trip back for the service, but I'll be remembering her and all of you as you commemorate her life. Tom Hilyer”
