My deepest condolences to Mike, Mrs Celli, the Kaschak family, and all who have experienced this loss of Cathy in our lives. I have had the honor of knowing Cathy since our 20's. Working together for the Easter Seal Society, Belmar days, & then so many years in Prestige with real estate. She always had a willingness to help others. Her smile, happiness, laughter, genuineness, friendship, and overall zest for life will remain with anyone who she met! What a Terrific lady! A true friend & partner in love with Michael from day one, until her last breath on earth. Now in heaven, but silently beside us always. Rest in peace my dear friend. 💒 You will always be remembered with a smile, and sorely missed, until we meet again...💕

Dearest Mike.....You are loved... always! Beyond sorry for this untimely loss :-(

God has a new angel and her name is Cathy! She definitely leaves a special mark on earth. Till we meet again!

Best friends forever!

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!

Mike and family, I am so sorry to hear of Cathy's passing. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. Beth

Dear Michael, So sorry to hear of Cathy’s passing, may she rest in peace, and may you find comfort in the many special moments you both shared. Our deepest sympathy, Dana & Donald

I have known Cathy and her husband Mike for many years. Cathy was such a genuine , nice and happy person. I always enjoyed being around her and spending time at her home with Mike and her brother & sister in law. Christmas Eve at the Celli’s has always been something I looked forward to. Cathy was such a big animal lover and that just shows her heart. I still cannot believe she is gone. May God bless her and her family & friends. I’m going to miss her.

Can't find words... Great neighbors and friends. Our hearts ache for you Mike - your Cathy was a beautiful, kind and generous soul. God Speed! May she rest in peace and Eternal light grant onto her. May the sorrow you feel in your heart lighten by the love that surrounds you.” Deepest sympathy- With love, Mark & Laura

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I only met Cathy a few years ago but she was always the "Light" in the room🥰. She was such a beautuful lady in every way !! I guess God needed another ANGEL 🙏🙏We are here for you Michael, please dont hesitate to ask for help😘🙏

Mike, Dan and I are shocked and saddened by Cathy's passing. Know that we hold you close and cherish the smiles that are an enduring legacy of Cathy. Randy Bishop and Dan Margo

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. Again, I am so sorry for you loss. Janel Griffin

Beautiful lady!

So Very Sorry For The Loss Of Cathy…..God Bless …
