She had her favorite shows (General Hospital, Blue Bloods, NCIS to name a few) that she loved to watch with him. He meant the world to her. She loved all three of her daughters, having an unique and loving friendship with each one of them. Her family was her world. She lit up when her grandkids were around. Cathy loved to attend every baseball, soccer, hockey and softball game she could make, cheering on each one of them. She went to dance recitals and graduations, making sure she was at every important event to support each one of them. She put everyone before her and had the kindest heart.
