Auntie Cathy had a heart full of love and a memory full of every birthday. She never forgot a single one. She made you feel remembered, every year, every time. But it wasn’t just birthdays. She was there for my childrens school play with pride. She was the kind of person who made people feel seen. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, thoughtfulness, and love. The kind of love that shows up without needing to be asked. Auntie Cathy you’ll always be remembered, not just on birthdays, but every day.💖 - Posted by: Sandra (Neice) on: Jun 05, 2025

Cathie and I met and became friends in Grade 8....a time of life that opened up new doors before us. ... We had so much fun together. Then it was high school and beyond....We laughed, we talked well into the night, we shared such good times together and with our "group of friends". Friends that became life-long friends. Cathie, you left footprints all over my life and heart. Having you as one of my bridesmaids when Glen and I married was important to me. I am so grateful that you were such an important part of the fabric of my life. You have and will always have a special place in my heart. - Posted by: Valerie Bergeron (Friend) on: May 28, 2025

Cathie was and will always be an amazing part of my life. I was a crazy kid from Logan Avenue who some how ended up in St. B. I believe we first met in Grade 10.I was having a lot of parent problems and she took me under her wing and introduced me to her family and a lot of the St. B G Gang. And she helped me figure out who I was and who I wanted to be. I owed her a lot. And will never forget her. We lost track of each other but saw her again at one of the St. B Variety shows . And she was just as awesome as always. Thank you Cathie. Thank you for being there for all of us. xoxoxooooxoooxo Jay - Posted by: Jay Brazeau (Friend) on: May 27, 2025
