I know you are in a much better place and are with Marc. I am going to miss you so much Cathy.
I loved talking to you on the phone. You always cracked me up and I am so glad we talked to each
alot. I am gonna miss your laugh and you giving me a hard time. I am so glad and feel very priviledged
to know you and be good friends. I loved you girlfriend. You were a wonderful friend.
Rest in Peace Cathy.
My sincere condolences to you. God Bless
I knew Cathy from the VA. We both worked there many years. Cathy was smart, had a great sense of humor and was friendly to every one. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I can picture her friendly smile as I write this. My deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Cathy was my childhood neighborhood friend. We hung out together in junior high and tried to stay out of trouble, that I mostly brought on.
We ran into each other periodically when we both lived in Eagan. We got caught up again this May when I began chemotherapy. We became chemotherapy buddies. In October she let me know she was all done with her infusions. Little did I know she was going to leave us so fast. We chatted on the phone one last time on November 5th. We cried together as we said goodbye.
Cathy was not wanting it to be the end already but did say she was okay with it all. Marc was her rock and I know she missed him through all of this. I am happy they can be reunited again. I will miss her funny spirit and will see her in every penguin I pass. So glad she is in a better place, free of pain and being alone. Love and prayers to Cathy’s family. Debbie Edmonson Goetz
I knew Cathy from the VA. She was always joking around and loud! Laughed a lot with her and appreciated her personality! Was a great friend and coworker! Will miss her! Always was a MN Twins Fan! Good person! Love and support to her brother and nieces and nephews! Prayers from Julie Schmidt and family.
Knew Cathy from work at the Mpls VA. She was a diligent, hard working and friend to many. So sorry for the family’s loss. Cathy, hope you are at peace and smiling with Marc with the penguins close by. Margy Ryan
