I am sadden to hear of Cathy Conners  (Walsh) passing, she lived a few doors up the street from me, her husband Jimmy lived a couple doors up from her.   Cathy was always a quite girl very smart but always friendly, it doesn’t surprise me to see she went into nursing to help people.    I spent a lot of time at their house her brother Mike was one of my best friends.   Her husband Jimmy’s family ran the local store we hung out at Jimmy worked there a lot with his brothers as it was a family business.  Cathy was best friends with Elleen Connelly and Gail Burk all from the neighborhood all really nice people.

My best wishes go out her family
