JJ, Michael, Jim and Marg, and of course Joe,

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved sister Cathy. I was so sad when I saw the notice.
She was such a big part of my childhood. Babysitter and surrogate family member, you all were.
I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Joe and the Ryan Family,

I was sad to learn of Cathy's passing.  I have many wonderful childhood memories of the Ryan family.  I especially remember being "tested' by Cathy as she pursued her career in Education.  Wishing you peace and comfort.

Joe I am so very sorry.   You know how much Jim and I enjoyed your company and our conversations. Thinking of you.... we will miss Cathy greatly.
