Not often you meet people like Cathie, such high calibre individuals who enlighten your life. It was a privilege to have been your friend. Her hand written letters and cards, small memories that I'll always treasure. Rest well now.

Devastating news. Cathie has been so supportive of my volunteering and has been an absolute inspiration to me and volunteers across the U.K. I will never forget her passion when we chatted about my voluntary work in Rhyl. Such sad news. RIP Cathie. ❤️🎾 @the_LTA @tenniswales https://t.co/MuzcujtE2d
