Condolence From: Deborah Bonk Greenwood
Condolence: Dear Bill, Jeff, David, family and all staff at The Bead Lady, my sincere condolences to you all. Cathy was a wonderful and talented human being. I only knew her from being a client in her store however you didn't need to know her for long as her warm smile and heart was felt the first time you met her. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Condolence: My condolences to Cathy's family, and the girls at the shop. I've only met Cathy a couple of times. My first visit to the store was a few years ago to get some beads for a shawl I was knitting. The knit shop referred me to her. I walked through the door and I was hooked, taking several beading courses and of course getting lots of supplies over the past few years, starting a brand new hobby. She will be missed but will be forever in your hearts.

Condolence From: Sandra Graves
Condolence: It was my joy and pleasure to have known Cathy for many years now. I think we first met more than ten years ago, and we spent many hours sitting together at the doorway for the Bead & Button Show, waiting for the doors to be opened and shopping to begin. As the founder of the Local Bead Store Owners Alliance and a good friend for years, I watched her grow her business and encompass her family, friends and customers with her talent and her love. We've lost someone very special with Cathy's passing. I knew she was ill, but hadn't realized things had progressed so far. I'll look to my left when I'm in Milwaukee this June and I'll feel something missing that I'll never have again - a friend, a companion, and a fellow designer. My sympathies to all of her family. You've lost a lynchpin and such a strong, wonderful, and beautiful person.
