To the family and friends of dear Cousin Cathy. She was part of my life for 64 years. We grew up together and shared laughs,joys and sorrows. She was proud of her boys and delighted in the wonderful grandchildren stories and visits. Cathy was generous and made folks feel important.
Her smile and laughter were infectious.
What a gal! She will be missed by us all.
In sympathy
Cousin Anne
Ken and family;
My thoughts are with all of you... Catherine was such a lovely, warm and caring person. I truly enjoyed our visits when you lived across the street. I still have flowers that bloom every year beside my driveway that Catherine gave me before you moved. She was a very special lady.
Dear Ken and family,
We are saddened to hear of Catherine’s passing. Catherine was a friend and colleague and always brought her knowledge, positivity, determination and sense of humour to the support of learning and teaching. I feel fortunate to share that she truly made a difference in the lives of those who came within her sphere both professionally and personally, she will be missed but continue to influence. Our condolences to you, she did so love her family and their adventures. Love to you all. Bill and Helen
Ken & Family,
I am very sorry to hear of Catherine's passing. I hope that your wonderful memories of a life well lived will give you some comfort. Thinking of you.
Peter, Chris, Michael and Ken,
I was truly saddened to learn of Catherine's passing. Unfortunately I can't make her service but will drop a card off. "Boys," your mother was a HUGE part of my teaching life, helping me not only get into the B.Ed program at MSVU but also acting as a reference for my teaching job that took me to BC for 32 years. Even before that, she trusted me with you three youngsters as a babysitter. I loved going to your home in Hubbards, even the day when Michael peeled all the wallpaper off the wall within reach of his crib. Catherine's reaction: Well, I guess he likes the more abstract to adorn his space. Or the day Chris came home early from school with a VERY upset stomach that kept exploding all over the house. (I got paid well for that emergency) Peter, I liked sharing time with you as we chatted and snacked on things before your slightly later bedtime. I know she loved all three of you dearly and I hope knowing that others like myself, will carry her in out heart for the rest of our days might ease your grief.
Much love to you and your families at this sad time.
Ken, Peter, Mike, Jim, Sherry, It sounds like Catherine lived life to the fullest right to the end! I have many memories of her love for life starting on Aikens Avenue! I send heartfelt condolences to all of you as you live through this time. Brian Duggan (unfortunately I am not able to join you next week)
Dear Pete, Mike and Chris,
We are so very sorry to learn that your Mum succumbed to her cancer. She certainly gave it a good run, and always had a positive attitude.
You will miss her terribly.
We kept in touch a couple of times a year, and she often shared a photo of her cherished grandchildren growing up.
With sincere sympathy, Nora and Michael Meagher
Catherine will be missed by all who knew her.Especially family, friends and students.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of sorrow.
