      I worked with Cathy for a little bit at Anderson hospital, but I’ll remember her forever. She was one of a kind, she could make even the most serious people laugh at her jokes and stories. She had a lot of joke accents, namely the British one. She was a good nurse and I always enjoyed being around her. My thoughts are with her family.

      I’m just learning us this today 😞
      Cathy and I were very close in our younger years… she was the only friend who could truly make me belly laugh! We were roommates at one time in a one bedroom,, one bath apartment in O’Fallon… her big fancy bed was in our living room… and her chandelier in our tiny kitchen. She then moved to the apartment two doors down and we shared many memorable times at her place or mine. Makes me smile to remember our adventures together. She was truly unique ♥️
      Cathy.. I will never forget you!! Hugs
