I was shocked to hear the news today. Cathi has been a fabulous Facebook friend. The site won't be the same without her.

I can't remember if I first met her on this site or on Facebook. Whatever it was, I felt as if I really knew her and loved the way she always acknowledged me on FB.

I will miss her alot.
