She will be greatly missed, the photography world lost a great one. May she now be at peace and pain free.
such beauty and peace in these photos. thanks for sharing.
My deepest sympathies to Cat's family. It is heartbreaking to know that someone capable of capturing such wonderful images felt so much pain. May she find peace.
This news hit me like a ton of bricks, how awfully sad, so totally speechless. I send my deepest condolences to her husband and family.
This is very tough news. May it give some solace to know that her spirit will live on in the fabulous photos she shared with the world. I, for one, feel privileged to have "met" her online with the Etsy POE group.
Peace.

Whoaaa... I can't believe this. Never saw this coming... She was a frequent supporter on my blog and always had an encouraging remark to offer. I can't imagine how her family must feel at this loss... I can only hope there will be feelings of happy times remembered, and some sense of peace that comes to all who loved her.
I was so very shocked to hear the news today. I really enjoyed conversing with her online, and was looking forward to her eventual return to our forum. What a talent; what a nice lady; what a loss.

I am deeply saddened to hear this news. I have always admired Cat's huge talent and giving heart. My deepest sympathies to her family. Rest in peace.
Thoughts and Prayers for Cat's family. She will be missed, and thankfully will not have to suffer any longer.
Such a tragedy. My prayers go out to Cat and all of her family. May God Bring Cat and her family peace and healing from all of this.
As a disabled person who deals with alot of pain, I know what it is like. I'm 47 and have had Crohn's Disease since I was 20. Severe Rheumatoid arthritis since 30, and severe bone degeneration of my cervical spine- muscle spasms for almost 15 years. I'm on so many meds from Chemo drugs to infusions every 6 weeks it would make your head spin. It's just such a tragedy she had to end her own life, so sad.
