    Our love and sympathies go out to Joe and the Pappas family. What a beautiful person and friend Cathy was. She, Joe and their children were like family to us. Cathy was the fun older sister you wanted to grow up and be like. Our families shared many memories over the years. She and Joe were there for our family thru some very difficult times. Heaven just got alot brighter and alot livelier with Cathy's soul. I know many arms were open wide to welcome her home. R.I.P. beautiful friend. Doreen Myers, Chris and Paul Barney
