“Our prayers and support to all Cathy's family and friends. She was the best! It was a pleasure to work with her on related cases between the prison and the hospital. Cathy always took care of every detail with ease. We appreciated her kindness and fun. She was a great neighbor to my mother-in-law, and we often waved and caught up when we saw each other. I am so sad to hear of her passing. She will be greatly missed. Our love to you Cathy💖”
