I just found out about Cathy's passing. My deepest sympathies to Michael and Cathy's family and friends. Cathy was a beautiful soul who love life and loved her husband very much. Before they were married we would speak often on how much she truly loved her husband and couldn't wait to be his wife. She was a very nice girl,. She was fun, smart and beautiful. I will pray that the Lord will comfort her family and loved ones . May she rest in the arms of our Lord.

I am beyond saddened at the passing of my very special friend, Cathy. You made me a better person & a better golfer just by being yourself. Your laughter contagious & your great conversation always enjoyable.
My husband, Mike & I were lucky enough to enjoy you & "your Mike" - both on the golf course & for some of the best dinners ever! It was easy to see the love, friendship & respect you had for each other.
Mike~ we both love you & share in your sadness. We are here for anything you may need.
Although Cathy was taken from us far too soon - I'm sure she is brightening up heaven with her smile 💕 I will miss her & cherish our memories ALWAYS.

With the heaviest of hearts I write this message. Cathy.. the kindest most non-judgmental person I have had the privilege of calling friend. You welcomed me with open arms and hearts not only with your friendship but into your home. Mike and Cathy.. Cathy and Mike... the names are synonymous! Never saying or thinking one without the other. When there is a right hand there is a left hand. Comrades in arms! 1 of many many memories I will forever hold deep into my soul is a Christmas Eve we spent together. You, Mike and Ken went to the red church for mass and then to your very well put together home. And a "home" it is. WHITE EVERYWHERE! Beautiful like your soul. White Christmas tree and decorations. Wine, cheese... cigars!! Nothing was too much for this very classy girl and her hubby and best friend. Mike.. I am stuck... no words really. My heart breaks for you. Your soulmate... your everything. We were ALL very LUCKY and BLESSED to have known Cathy and have her in our lives even for the very shortened time it is. I am truly truly sorry for your untimely loss. :-( God has an angel with him now and Cathy will forever be his Princess!

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your beautiful Cathy. I have golfed with her many times at Deal. She was always very warm and friendly to me, a wonderful lady. In reading her Obituary, I realized that Cathy's father Joe and my father Bob Moravek grew up together in Perth Amboy and were best friends since childhood. I also realized that Joe's fiancé Gloria Hayko was my Godmother and my mother's best friend since kindergarten. I'm sorry that we were not able to make that connection before Cathy passed.
