Cathy lost her battle against cancer on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 12:30 AM surrounded by her family and a dear friend. The grief is horrible, but we do not "grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope" [1 Thes 4:13]. We share her belief in the atoning sacrifice of Christ for salvation and the hope of glory.
Cathy's love of God and passion to share the gospel of Christ animated her and endeared her to so many who loved her in return.
Visitation will be in the commons of College Church in Wheaton from 3:00 - 8:00 PM, Monday February 22 and her memorial service will be in the sanctuary on Tuesday, February 23 at 11:00 AM. Burial will be private.
Soon more information will be available at hultgrenfh.com

Sending you all our love and comfort Uncle Greg. I see her as "New Again", in her new perfect body and eternal soul. I hope for nothing but comfort, peace, and healing for you, Wesley, Hopie and all the family and friends that are grieving now. We lost an angel, but one of God's angels has returned home. Love you.
From the day we all found out Cathy had a fight on her hands, I always expected her to beat the enemy; she just had too much energy and love and joy of life to have it any other way. Our Lord had something else in mind for Cathy. She never failed to lighten my heart in dark times with a phone call and her laughter was contagious. I will never forget Kari riding home from Rockford when she was 4 years old and we had met Cathy for the first time..."I really love that girl with the purple hair". My heart aches for you but oh the glories she is seeing... "One with Himself I cannot die, my soul is purchased with His blood, my life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my Savior and my God".
Greg, Wesley, and Hope:
We grieve and rejoice along with you, and eagerly await our reunion beyond this veil of tears.
Our momentary, light afflictions (and even our seemingly long-lasting and heavier afflictions) are not worthy to be compared to the glory that Cathy now experiences, and that remaining ones await.
The Lord bless and keep you; may you know His nearness every moment, and live in the peace that passes understanding.

Praying for you all. My heart is breaking, but the thought of Cathy returning to her heavenly Father only makes me smile. I am so thankful to have had the privilege to have her as my small group leader all throughout high school.
God Bless.
Greg,Wesley, and Hope,
Our hearts are breaking for you guys. Of all of the Angelman family and friends we have ever met through the years, your family has always been "extra special" to us. Cathy's enthusiasm and compassion was always so contagious - she just always was such a joy to be around. I just know that right now Cathy's bright smile is shining in heaven. She will be a special angel in heaven, just as she was on earth to everyone who knew her. We love you, Lori and Kevin Johnson
Greg: I am heartsick. I cannot believe that this beautiful woman has gone from this world. I know that she is with our Heavenly Father, but I had such high hopes she would fight this illness and go on to bring her light into the world. Cathy (and your family) has been in my daily prayers since we first talked about this disease and her brave fight. I will continue to keep you and your children in my prayers during this difficult time of loss, and I will always think of Cathy as one of God's special angels.
Best, Jane Doyle
Greg,Wes and Hope

Greg, Wesley & Hope,
Today as I was remembering Cathy I kept seeing this boundless energy coming from her eyes, her skin, her words...every expression was filled with "Cathy." I loved the time we spent with her. Her impression on others and your family will carry on with the same energy & hope for years and years to come. I love you. I am grieving with you even from a distance. Shea.
