My condolences to Cathy's family. Cathy and I worked at Seedburo Equipment. She was a lovely person to work with. She was funny and her laugh was unforgettable. She spoke very highly of her family, especially Danny, Toni & Mia. I'm glad I had a chance to meet her. She will be greatly missed.

Catherine Mary Anne Cardillo Melton,
you took such a large part of me with you. I will never be the same without you, you helped make me who I am. You made this world, our world, my world a happier place and losing you has cast an everlasting darkness where your light and laughter once were. I am wandering through my days in a constant, profound state of sorrow. I will NEVER stop loving you...
