''Cathy was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour in the summer of 2012 which is why publication of her book ''Touching the World'' had to be brought forward to August from the scheduled autumn release date. She bravely soldiered on doing pre and post publication interviews and appearances at motorbike shows and bookshops.''
''In typical Cathy style she outlived the doctors' expectations and was able to have Christmas with Bernard as his wife - they married on publication day - 20th August 2012. Towards the end her mobility was severely compromised but Bernard said that they still managed to "talk each other's ears off"until she died on 31 January 2013. They were a devoted couple.''
