Oh my...I am so sorry.  I just found out from the Crofton West County Gazette.  I first met Cathy 12 years ago as my hair stylist and she soon became a fast friend.  I always looked forward to talking with Cathy and chatting about our husbands and all the happenings in our lives.   I enjoyed our friendship and hugs.  Cathy was a talented hair stylist, smart, a true professional business person, that I held in the highest regard.  I respect the strength of character it took to start a business and then keep it going through such tough times economically and personally.   She was so hard working and never let on about how bad her difficulties were.  Just a few months ago, Cathy came back from Florida visiting her brother, and brought back for me a pair of drumsticks from the Hard Rock Cafe'.  I just started to learn to drum at 55, and she thought of me while on her vacation.  I could hardly believe it, but that was Cathy, always thoughtful, caring, and a truly loving person.  I am so honored and blessed to have had such wonderful moments with Cathy.  Cathy is a beautiful soul.  I will always miss her and cherish the warm memory of our hugs before parting.  Cathy will forever be my first thought as I pick up my drumsticks to play.  My prayers, my thoughts, my love go out to you Chris and family.
