Cathy Strassman

Marva, so sorry for you loss, I will be praying for family and you as you celebrate Cathy's life on Saturday.

When I first met Kathy, I was having a really hard time adjusting to my new family structure and our move out to the country by Viroqua. My humans dropped me off at Sunburst Kennel and I was greeted by Kathy and she was so reassuring and calm. When my humans left, she would always bring me treats and pet me in as kind a way as my humans would. I loved coming out to stay with her over the years and had a blast every time! I will catch up to you soon, Kathy and we will play catch and fetch!!! I love you!!! XOXO Laddie The Wonderdog

I remember the first time I net Marva and Cathy. I met Cathy first since she was outside. She came over and gave me the warmest, most welcoming hug. In that moment, I knew that I would love her. Talking with her was always so natural and easy. She would do anything for you.... even rip up her yard so I could plant sunflowers for my wedding. You are amazing Cathy. I know you are watching over us and are taking such good care of us. Thank you for being so amazing to Marva and her family. There's no one like you and I am so lucky to have met you and even luckier now that I have such an amazing angel watching over me. Love you.

We were childhood neighbors and friends, and had many fun times growing up. Life happened and we lost track of each other over 30 years ago. I'm happy to see that Cathy had so many special people in her life. I'm sorry she left this earth so soon. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

To Marva and all who Loved Cathy. My heart goes out to you. I am honored to have been part of your lives. She will be missed and remembered fondly. Blessing to you and to the memory of Cathy. With love and admiration to you both, Becky Ludovice from Viroqua
