"So very sad to hear this news! Cathy was such a talented woman! She was a dynamo behind the Silk Room counter at Vogue in Evanston when I started there in 1986! Her fabric knowledge & sewing expertise were top notch! Her creative efforts - both personal garment making & displays in the fabric store - were beautiful and inspiring! We both gave birth to sons in the same time frame. Cathy’s love for Noah was palpable! Although I never met him, he was obviously loved beyond measure by his devoted mom! My deepest condolences to her family on Cathy’s passing. May she eternally Rest In Peace. 🙏🙏🙏"

My Condolences to Ron and Noah.

I have so many good memories of Cathy. I am a Vogue person. My Mom also worked with Cathy they would have lunch together, Cathy loved my mom's rye bread. I would bring her a package every now & then. Cathy would have the biggest smile remembering my mom. I was around when Noah was born OH!!! what a joy we all had seeing him grow up.
I will keep you in my prayers and the memories of Cathy in my heart.
