My heartfelt condolences to you all in the Brosh family. I have many fond memories of fun times with Cathy at your home, throughout our years at St Vincent School & Wheeling Central Catholic HS. I enjoyed watching your memorial video tribute to your Mom. She was a sweet & sincere lady. She was very dedicated to her family, church, career, & community. May Mrs. Brosh’s legacy live on in each of you.
