My condolences to the whole Schiano and Coppola family.
Caterina is a great loss, she was a great friend and still I cannot believe that she is no longer on this earth. A golden heart has stopped beating. She was full of life and was always there to help, could have given her shirt off her back, that was her personality.... Words cannot describe the great woman she was. I will miss talking to her. Goodbye great friend, I will miss you sooooo much. I wish I was there to pay my last respects, but I will be there in spirit.

Our most heartfelt condolences on this tremendous loss. Cathy was a truly amazing human being full of love, laughter, and warmth which she shared freely with everyone who crossed her path. We feel so very blessed to have had the honor of knowing her and of her friendship. God has gained a beautiful angel-- one who will be watching over her family always. May God grant you all His peace, which passes all understanding, during this difficult time and enfold you in His loving arms. Much love, Alex & Diane Ostrow, Andrew Heiss, & Elly Parks

Angela and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Mrs. Schiano was a wonderful lady. She helped me many, many years ago on a girlscout camping trip, and I have never forgotten her kindness to me that night. She always had a warm smile and a hug whenever I would run into her around town or at mama's. I pray that you can find peace in this difficult time. She was truly a remarkable lady; God only takes the best. You and your family are in my thoughts...
