    Congratulations to Cathy Nystrom! What a beautiful person in every sense of the word. During the 16 years that I was chairperson of the Animal Shelter for Huntsville, Cathy contributed countless hours of volunteerism as well as significant donations. She never faltered in her support. I respect her wisdom, admire her tenacity and love her spirit. A great lady,
