"Ya gotta stay hungry, Cathy!!!" (MIck, Rocky 3)

"Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger"

Cathy and I went to school together. I especially remember our friendship during our school days at Kansasville Grade School. Cathy was such a sweet & kind friend. I remember spending many fun times at her parents home in Kansasville. It’s funny when I think back of the memories I recall at the Wolfe’s home. I’m really dating myself; but it was the first time I saw a color tv in a home. I remember Cathy’s mom being so kind and planting beautiful tulips under the front window. Cathy & I liked to do gymnastics in her bedroom & one time one of our heels went through the wall. We put the dresser in front of it. Of course...as a kid...thinking no one would ever move that dresser and find it. We had lots of nice memories that were less destructive than the hole in the wall. As we got older, our lives took us in different directions. Even though we both went our own way, I will always remember Cathy’s kindness and the fun we shared when we were young. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this time and send my condolences. Susan Gitzlaff Sherman

Cathy was a classmate of mine at Burlington High School Class of 1967. Our lockers were close based on the alphabet. She was a quiet yet beautiful soul. Always cherish your memories of this wonderful Lady.
