IN LOVING MEMORY OF CAT PALOMARES
Nighthawk Music Community,
It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news of the passing of Cathee (“Cat”) Palomares. Cat was a cherished member of our music community and Corresponding Secretary for the Music Boosters. Cat always brought light to any space. She touched many lives with her kindness, dedication, and unwavering support.
Many of us not only knew Cat through her commitment to the program, but also were fortunate enough to know Cat socially and will cherish those memories. Her spirit brought out the best in all of us. She will be missed dearly.
We send our condolences and support to the many family, friends, and greater community during this difficult time.
In response to inquiries of support in this time of need, please see the following Linktree. https://linktr.ee/dnhsmusic
Let us remember Cat and carry her legacy of kindness, compassion, and community spirit forward.
With sympathy,
Del Norte High School Music Boosters
