Condolences

    My condolences to her family and friends. I had the privilege to meet and know Cathy through my grandfather, Sarge. She was an amazing woman, she loved her fur babies very much. She was dedicated to them.

    Cathy enjoyed being crafty with yarn and when she learned that I knew how to crochet, she gave me some of her yarn. She didn’t have to, but she was generous and always willing to help.

    She will be missed greatly by us all.
