    Being one of Cathy’s Gladstone friends from way back, this has left a deep hole in our hearts. She will be missed greatly at our get togethers. We will miss her singing her favorite Jimmy Buffet songs; playing “Left, Right, Center”; and reminiscing about all the things we did from long ago. Cathy loved everyone, especially her family. If you knew Cathy at all, you know she ended every phone call with “I Love You” . RIP my dear friend
