I remember going out with Cathy to the Dry Bean in Madison and a few other clubs, I was in my 30’s she was in her 50’s (I’m guessing) and she had a young fella following her, bought a rose and was after her all night. She was flattered but did not take it seriously at all we would spend a lot of time talking about men and relationships, her children and grand children. I believe she even made it out to one of my shows at Morgan’s I was so surprised! I will miss our laughs, so many things about life we found hilarious. This world will miss her so much. My impression her family meant everything to her. ❤️
