I first met Cathy during the co-op interview for our building in Brooklyn. I had never dealt with a co-op before, so admittedly, I was a bit anxious that night. I distinctly remember Cathy's friendly approach to the interview which immediately put me at ease. Little did I know at that point that I would later be on the flip side of the interview process, with Cathy providing invaluable insight and guidance to the entire process with her years of service to the building in many capacities.
I would often run into Cathy in the mornings and she would always invite me to walk with her on her daily commute across the Brooklyn Bridge. This always made me chuckle because I worked in Midtown and it would be quite a hike, but I always marveled at the fortitude and perseverance of her choice to continue this commute day in and day out. What a strong woman, indeed.
Much love to Martin and Natan. I will truly miss my friend and neighbor, Cathy.
