I was so saddened to hear the message from Winston on my phone. I knew Cathy when we were teachers at Lillibridge School in Detroit (1967). She was so friendly, outgoing. She talked me into skiing lessons and I had fun but never went on my own. We lost contact and then I received a letter from her in December 2008. It was a surprise and delight. We were keeping up via email and I was hoping to visit her in Spring Lake. I am so grateful that she contacted me and we were able to have some email conversations. I have many fond memories and even some pictures. She was so proud of her family. I felt like I knew them. May you find peace in knowing that she was loved by many. May her memory be eternal.

I was saddened to learn of Cathleen's death. I had the pleasure of working with her during her tenure at Shelby Schools. She was a talented artist and did an excellent job of helping young people recognize and develop their own artistic gifts. I was always amazed at the quality of art work she guided students to produce. I will be sending a donation to the Shelby School Foundation in honor of her time spent with the youth of our community. My sincere condolences to her family....Ruth Tobin

Karen and Neil Wood We were so very sad to learn of Cathy’s passing. Our heart-felt pray’s and sympathies go out to all who knew and loved this loving and talented woman. We remember Cathy as a thoughtful and loving sister-in-law who always had a kind word, regardless of the weights she bore. One need only look at the three wonderful children she raised and her wonderful grandchildren to realize that she was first and foremost a mother who placed her family above all else. She will be truly missed.

I was saddened to read of C.B.'s passing. She was a sweet lady,with always a smile. We were in a dancing class together, and she baby-sat my parakeet when we were on vacation. She will be missed in our little neighborhood. So sorry for your loss.
