    Cathy was more than “Just A Friend’ she was an inspiration to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Cathy never met a stranger,she was a friend to everyone she met.The world lost a friend when Cathy left it. God has gained a friend.

    Cathy has been a true inspiration to everyone she had encountered. I went to college with her for one year in 1961-1962 at the College of Great Falls and had always remained friends with her even though we have at times lived many, many miles apart. She was a bridesmaid at our wedding 48 years ago. What a true and loyal friend who loved life!!!! God needed another angel, so he picked our dear Cathy. Lonnie & Sharon McCollom, Choteau, MT.

    Our hearts are with all of Cathy’s family in Montana. We had the pleasure of meeting some of you a few years ago when we were out for a visit. Cathy was a wonderful person and we are all proud and fortunate that she was part of our family. Her courage, strength and love will be with us always. There are not enough words to say how we all loved Cathy. She is a shining angel for sure. Ronald and Linda York, Topsham, ME.

    Blessings to dearest Cathy as she ventures on her journey, and to her beloved Richard who has always loved her so very well…an ultimate example of an “in love” couple for so many, many years. Also blessings to her Mom, and brothers.
    Although we never met any of you, we’ve enjoyed her fond stories.
    Cathy’s upbeat, adventuresome spirit ever shined, especially through her beautiful, easily shared smile. May her love of living and giving remain an inspiration, honoring her always. With Much Love, Jewel Clark & Rolly York

    My beloved Aunt Cathy,
    I know without a doubt your big sister Mary was waiting for you at the gates of heaven with open arms. We were all so blessed to have the time to share with you when you came down to San Diego to be with my mom Mary. You made her so happy when you came to see her or when you called and talked for hours. We all loved hearing your stories and eating your quiche. Stay strong Uncle Richard. I want to thank you for being so in love with my Aunt for so many years. Your a good man. You are in my thoughts and prayers. When I think of my Aunt C, I will always think of her as a strong, courage’s women very loving very caring and always there for somebody when needed. Her last email she sent me she said she will always have God’s ear for me always I believe that.I love you Aunt C always and forever you will be in my heart.

    Victoria, Tony, Yessenia ,Clarissa, Melissa…

    Richard, Bette, and brothers: I am just wanting to say in a public manner that I am so sorry for the loss of your Cathy. Her book of birthdays says it all, the love she shared with you , Richard, for so many years. God took an angel and we shall always be so happy that we had the chance to have also spent the years since high school with her. She will leave a void in us all. God bless you and my prayers for her and you will continue. Her love and memories will help you make it through each day,

    Cathy was an exceptional cook and baker. Her pies were the best I have ever eaten.
