Rhian says...

I’m sorry Cathy for the enexpected death of your father. There is never a right time for somebody to die. My unfortunate Grandfather died of a heartattack when I was on holiday in Spain. Only for me to come home to that news was horrific. I will pray for your unfortunate Dad and hopefully you can get over this tragic death and mourn for your Dad in relaxed time.

Abby says...

I am really sorry, that your lovely father passed away. It must be soooo upsetting. Even still, make the most of your christmas. tHERE Will still be loads more good things, come up in your life. Abbyxx

Sarah B says...

I’m soo sorry cathy. I know what its like. My grandad died in September. 11th September infact. I was really upset when we heard the news because me and my brother were waiting in the car while my mum was shopping.Suddenly she ran up to the car and I could see she was crying.I knew what was up the second I saw the mobile phone in her hand and the tears in her eyes.My Grandpa had been unwell over the Summer.He had an operation and recovered but he’d been feeling sick over the past few weeks.It was a real shock. We drove to my Grandma’s house and there was an ambulance outside the house. We went inside and stayed in the sitting room while the ambulance people came in. My aunties and uncles and cousins visited. It was so scary seeing them all crying. I’d never seen them cry before. It made me realise that even adults cry. But at least my Grandpa died when he was asleep so he was in peace.I really,really,really hope you feel better Cathy. Your dad sounded like a true hero to me. Not the superhero,superman type but the hero that is always by your side and encourages you to never give up.Remember that your dad will never leave you. You should dedicate one of your books to him.I really,really really understand what your going through.I’m sure all your readers understand the situation your in too. I really hope you feel better Cathy. Have a great Christmas Cathy. I’m praying for you and your family.

Loads of love,

Sarah xxx

Iqra says...

Cathy, I’m so sorry. That trigerd memories for me too. My Uncle passed away a couple of weeks ago as well. I know there is a saying, everyone has to move on, but sometimes it’s just too hard to let go of the memories, too hard to let go of the love. Don’t worry Cathy. You have the rest of your family. And your fans will support you till’ the end, and i’m sure of that. Becasue if i can, everyone can! ..xxXxx..

millie says...

I am so sorry cathy it’s hard when you just don’t expect it.my heart pours out for you.maybe if you would like to try and remember all the good times and maybe the bad times you spent with him when your finished you will probaly be laughing your head off.nobody can tell you what to cathy you make your own decisions no one else.even when someone isn’t there you know they’ll always be in your heart no matter what any one says, your dad seems like a real super dad so it must be hard for something as good as that to be gone.however cathy you can pull through anything but take time getting over, it you will never stop feeling sad but you won’t feel as sad when you first heard the news cathy my deepest sorrows luv millie your greatest fanxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lisa says...

I think you’ve already got the message: all your fans really care for you! Here are my regards. Everyone has to go at some point, at least he was happy, how couldn’t he be, he had a successful heroine named Cathy Cassidy as a daughter! But the truth is always so much easier to handle in the long run. My best friend lives in Malta, and for the past year I have cried daily because she isn’t here. But, recently, I’ve realised how idiotic I’ve been. My friend and your dad, neither of them would have wanted us to be miserable and moping about them, they’d want us to get on with our lives. My friend would hate to know she had made me upset. Even though they’re gone, their memories live on, and they won’t fade. Just remember, as someone once said, A woman is like a teabag, you don’t know how strong she is until she gets into hot water. Be that woman, be strong, and keep smiling! Lisa xxx

Caroline says...

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry! My cat just died yesterday. We had him for 3 and a half years. I am so sorry

Summer says...

Dearest Cathy, I’m really sorry about what happened! Stay strong! And I hope you have a greater christmas this year! Love always, Summer XOXO

Rosie says...

I am soo sorry to hear tha your dad died. My Nanna died last year while i was at school, my Mom told me when she picked me up. I cried for ages and ages. But she was 89 and she had cancer and did’nt want the treatment because all of her friends had died. I loved her very much and was sad to see her go. You have just got to keep strong and keep smiling!

Lots and lost of love from Rosie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Michaela says...

O my gosh i’m so sorry about your dad!i hope you feel a bit better soon and have a better year.XXXoooXXXoooXXXoooXXXooo Michaela

Sarah B says...

Cathy, I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it feels like to lose somebody, and it isn’t a nice feeling. However, just remember that he is watching over you from up in Heaven, and that he will always be in your heart. Surrounding yourself with friends and family (and fans!) is sure to help you cope and feel better. Have a Merry Christmas, none the less! xo
