My heart is heavy with the loss of my old friend Cathy. My father was sick and had to spend a long time in Denver when we were young. I stayed with Pat & Bruce during this time besides only living 2 blocks from their house so Cathy & I became quite close. There are many things about Cathy that most people don't know, but she was a loving person. She had a talent with children. I never met a child that didn't take to Cathy immediately. She lost 2 infant sons. One only 6 hours old and the other lived 6 months. I don't think I could have endured such losses. I never saw her first son, but the second son was a beautiful little boy that his lungs just weren't developed completely. Cathy didn't deal well with a lot of things, but if I'd walked in her shoes I can't say I would've done any better. The people that knew her later in life thought of her as very kind hearted and she was. I'll miss her even though I hadn't seen her in a number of years. I'll always remember her as my best friend in school. We graduated in 1970 and she was wronged by many people, but not by me. I loved her and will always remember the exploring and life learning experiences we shared. Rest in peace my friend. I'll miss you until we meet again in heaven.
