It was a year ago today I lost my dear friend and best buddy.  You are always in my heart, but I miss you so much.

I cannot believe it will be a year tomorrow that you have left us for a better place. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of  you Cath. I missed your annual Christmas card this year that I always looked so forward to. I miss your giving spirit, your genuine kindness that was a gift in itself. I just miss you so much Cath. You were such a good person and the most selfless person I have ever met. Love you lots!

Iam saddened and shocked to see this! I worked with Cathy at Freedom Savings in the 80's! She was Asst Manager! Always the life of any party! A lot of fun and a friend! After all those years she stopped in at my sisters office in Clearwater to tell me hello! 
I never talked to her again! Rest in peace! Cathy!

Cathy was such a great person, she always had a smile on her face.. She will be dearly missed by everyone.
Rest in Peace Cathy..

Cathy, it was such a pleasure always working with you. You were always so kind and I wish I would have gotten to know you better.  You will be missed. I never realized that you were from the same great state of WI as I was, no wonder we got along so well.
You will be missed!

Cathy, You touched my heart the day I met you. I know God has a special
seat in the Glory of Heaven! I will miss your welcoming smile and your
comforting heart.  A Faithful Angel got her wings......
Peace Out, Love Carole Kennedy

Cathy, you were one of the most thoughtful, giving and caring people I have ever met.  Thank you for touching our life in such a special way.  I will miss spending the holidays with you. I wish we had the chance to paint pottery one more time.  We will miss you dearly.

Cathy, you may be gone from here but I know that God in Heaven has welcomed you with open arms.. You will forever be in my heart and will be dearly missed. I will always remember you for your kindness and caring hand in everything you did. I miss you so much my friend.

Wow...so surprised to hear of Cathy's passing. She always had a smile on her face and was such a joy to see at Patriot Bank. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. May you rest in peace Cathy...I'm sure I'll need your assistance with my banking needs,one day when we meet again. Until then, we all have one special angel watching over us.

Cathy, Always enjoyed having you at our Holiday dinners. Your smile, charm and wit will be missed. G-d has a special angel now...her name is Cathy...we have lost a dear friend.
Rest in peace.

Thanks for the memories.  It was pleasure to be your friend.

My heart goes out to friends and family.  I will always remember Cathy as so full of life and laughter.  She passed way too young.

From the day we met while "io" (in organization) of Patriot Bank I knew that I had met a true friend.  Those will be memories that Patty and I will cherish forever. We were blessed to have known you and been able to work with you during our time at Patriot Bank and we will sorely miss seeing you when we enter the Bank from now on.  Thank you for all that you have done for me in the past, don't think you ever told me that you couldn't add another task to your busy day.

Love always,

To the family and friends of Cathleen,
There are no words to describe the pain in my heart. Cathy was many things to many people. A gourmet cook, sailor, businesswoman & a HUGE sports fan, etc. but she was more to me she was my friend for more than 20 yrs. & part of our family & my neighbor. We shared many holidays, clamebakes,October feasts, & always Christmas Eve, but not this year she had the flu?phamonia. She was so upset she didn't finish her shopping for my kids & grandkids.
This was the Cathy we new who remembered everyone all the time & gave everything special detail. I am a better person for knowing her. She did so much for so many, with class, impeccable style & and always a splash of fun & sparkle. She raised a butterfly for me, from a chrysalis to a Monarch on her lanai. Cathy sent me a picture every day, she was very proud of Chrys & very touched by the experience. With love and sorrow we had to let Cathy move on much to soon, just as she did Chrys, but she was sure she saw him every time she saw a butterfly.

Your laughter we can still hear and we are cheated not to enjoy more wonderful times;however we will continue this chapter in heaven with you. You shall remain in our hearts and memories. As we turn in our drive we salute you....

What a shock this morning when we read about Cathy.  We will miss her and her always present smile at the bank.  Gerry and Diane Minear

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

What a shock.. You will be greatly missed and you always were smiling.  Gerry and Diane Minear

"Cath you had so much class. Such beautiful lady!  We only use linen napkins, right?  I loved our times together, you will be forever in our hearts.  Rest in Peace my friend."

Cathy, Thank you for your friendship and support.  You thought of others first always.  God brought his blessings to you and your reward is the peace and joy of your place in heaven.  I will remember you always.
