Dear Tony and sons: My deepest regrets. I wish I could have been there. I been thinking of the great memories we had with Cathy.

I hope all the wonderful memories will somehow alleviate the pain. You are in my thoughts, Gaby Copeland

All the best to you, your sons and granddaughter, our prayers and thoughts are with you at this tough, tough time.Glen& Family
I first met Cathy on an internet Marc Bolan club. Of all the people on the site, she was the most friendly, supportive and most likely to respond to my posts. I am so pleased she made it to the UK and visited so many Bolan places and met so many fans. She was clearly greatly loved, and will be greatly missed by many. Rest in Peace Cathy.
i never met cathy but have heard of her through the wonderful fan club & if cathy being a bolan fan well she would have truly been a wonderful person so sad i never got to meet cathy r.i.p
I first spoke to Cathy on one of the Marc Bolan internet forums, and her advice was very reassuring to me, as I had never visited London alone before, and was extremely nervous. When I eventually met her, she proved to be just as nice in person. We talked for a while, and I was hoping to see her again in subsequent years, so it's very sad to think we won't see her again. Rest in Peace Cathy.
I spoke to Cathy online and we had some great conversations about Marc Bolan and all the music that we liked to listen to. She was a lovely, lovely lady and I just want to send my condolences and deepest sympathy to Tony and all Cathy's family at this sad time. - Rest in peace Cathy. - Love Barbara xx
Cathy was a much loved member of the Bolan family, and she was gladly received on her visit to London in September 2009. Photos taken at this time show her radiantly happy and we are so pleased that she managed to make the trip and visit the places which are important to all Marc Bolan fans. Our thoughts are with Cathy's family at the time of their sad loss. "Deep in my heart, there's a house that can hold just about all of you - Marc Bolan". Rest in peace Cathy.
Dear Tony and Sons, When I think of my growing-up years, I think of Cathy with a "C". She would always correct my spelling. She would say I'm with a "C" and Kathy Sharon is the "K". The three of us were unseparable - "The Three Musketeers" we would say. Boy, I miss those days but not as much as I'm going to miss my 'ol bud. Cathy had a big influence on my life that I will cherish forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you Tony and your family.
Tony,Christopher, Brandon, Aaron and little Mya. We feel your pain in such a terrible time of grief. I hope this poem makes you feel better. God looked around his Garden, And he found an empty place. And then he looked down upon the Earth, And saw her tired face. He put his arms around her, and lifted her to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that she was suffering, He knew she was in pain. He knew that she would never get well, on this earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So he closed her weary eyelids, And whispered "Peace be Thine". It broke your hearts to lose her, But she did not go alone, For part of you went with her, The day God called her home. We are here for you when ever you need us.
Tony: Words cannot even begin to express the sorrow we feel for you and your family at this time. When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.
Tony and family Words are never enough at a time like this and they will never take away the pain you are feeling. Cherish the memories and in time, you will laugh again and enjoy the beauty of Cathy's smile. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers
Cathy came to the UK last year to vist the shrine of our shared hero Marc Bolan. She stayed with me for the duration of her visit. She was the best house guest I have ever had. Kind, considerate, caring, loving, funny, great to talk to and laugh with. I knew when we first got chatting through our love of Marc Bolan that we would be friends and we were. We stayed in contact by email and telephone and I met Tony when they both joined us for a meal on our visit to Niagra Falls. All of her friends that she made here in the UK are shocked and reeling from her untimely death. She struggled for so long and for so hard and so bravely. She was a wonderful wonderful lady and as I write this I am sitting at work crying and crying because I cant beleive she has gone. As Marc said "high in your fields above earth come and be real for us" ..... God is now real for you sweet lovely friend. RIP. Your with the angels nows. Heartbroken. Love You. Deana.
To Tony and Family May these words bring you some comfort at this terrible time. I only met Cathy twice, once on a visit to Canada, and again when she came to the UK this time last year. She was a very special lady. A rose once grew where all could see, sheltered beside a garden wall, And as the days passed swiftly by, it spread its branches, straight and tall... One day, a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide ~ The rose bent gently toward its warmth then passed beyond to the other side Now, you who deeply feel its loss, be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~ its beauty even greater now, nurtured by God's own loving care. Thinking of you all. Melanie (Deana's Sister) x
I had the pleasure of meeting Cathy last year in London and sharing a very pleasant lunch with her and mutual friends. Cathy homed a beautiful soul and has left me with fond memories. Unfortunately, I now wish her soul to rest in peace. God Bless all those she loved and has had to leave behind.
It was apleasure and privalidge meeting you last year when you came to London and stayed with Deana you will be sadly missed and the skies have gained a new star..RIP Cathy..we love you.. deepest sympathy to Tony and family Spike and Jaime
Dear Tony and Boys, Words cannot convey the deep sadness I feel for you, the most important men in Cathy's life. Having been so fortunate to spend my entire highschool career practically joined at her hip, I can only imagine how you will miss this very special person. Cathy's heart and soul will always resonate within me and everyone she's come in contact with. I'm so glad I was able to spend time with her and my other best bud, Linda Steinke when we all turned 50, three short years ago. There are some people that slide quietly into your heart and never leave. Cathy was one of them. Stay strong, Tony. I know she loved you and the boys so very much!
Dear Muriel: My heart goes out to you at a time like this . Muriel, to lose a loving daughter, is very difficult to understand the reasons why. Just know that God has special plans for Cathy, and that she will be in His arms and always be with you and your Family in their hearts. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Know that your friends are there for you and are just a call away if you need them. Stay strong and keep up the faith. Love, Your Friend, Judy Robinson.
Tony, Chris, Brandon and Aaron, Not everyone can say that they were fortunate to have met a genuinely beautiful person in their lifetime but I did and was lucky enough to call her my friend. We had numerous talks and shared many e-mails about you guys and the love that she had for each of you was always so evident. When little Mya came along, her heart just expanded and it was always a treat to receive the latest pictures of her little pride and joy. Cathy was such an inspiration to me and her humour and caring ways never failed to work its magic whenever a pick me up was needed. Cathy was a second mother to our children when we were all neighbours and we will be forever grateful for that. Allan, Damien, Nick and Marshall and I are thinking of you.
Tony & Family: Please accept my deepest sympathies in the loss of your wife/Mother, Cathy. Keep up your faith and strength and know that Cathy will always be with you in your hearts and memories. I didn't meet Cathy Tony, but Muriel has mentioned her so often and about the suffering she has gone through, and how wonderful you all were being at her side. Be strong and believe in your faith. Sincerely, Judy Robinson.
Dear Tony & Family, Cathy will be missed, she was a Joy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you . Dr Karin & Staff

Muriel. We are so sorry that we can't be with you now in this time of need. You are certainly in our thoughts. Much Love. Al and Audrey. Tony, Christopher, Brandon, and Aaron. Words cannot express the sorrow that we feel about your loss. She was a lovely, dynamic person. Illness wiped out her joie de vivre, but we know that she is at peace now. Let us rejoice that we had her as long as we did. Much Love. Uncle Al and Aunt Audrey.
Cathy my dear Bolanic friend. I'm so pleased that I met you last year on your trip to London. I so enjoyed our time in Camden, at the bop and the other Bolan events. I consider it a privilege to call you friend. My heartfelt thoughts are with your family at this very sad time. You will be sorely missed Cathy. Rest in peace "high in your fields above earth".
