Spreading Our Wings for Neighbors in Need
Cathy McVey Palmer conceived of Honeys Angels in 2006, just a few short months after her mom—Helen “Honey” McVey—lost her brave battle against lung cancer.
Although devastated by the loss, Cathy felt compelled to carry on her mom’s legacy in a big way. Honey, as her name indicates, was a sweet, simple woman who spent most of her life in a tiny Philadelphia row home. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother; a devout Catholic; a caring neighbor; a gracious host; a generous friend; a reliable listener; a superior homemaker (cooking, cleaning, ironing—she was a master of it all).
Honey was style, grace and class. She was also a whole lot of fun. And quite certainly, she was the greatest example of how to live that Cathy had ever known.
So how would Cathy carry on the legacy of this simple but extraordinary woman? A scholarship fund? No. A walk? Maybe. A Thanksgiving food drive? Absolutely.
