Condolence from Don on May 24th, 2024 6:24 AM

Carol and I are sorry to hear that Cathy has passed away. Thoughts of her send us back to those awesome days in the late 70’s and well into the 80’s and 90’s. We remember her as a fun loving person who enjoyed many of the same things as we did. She had a great love of the outdoors which tells us she was in touch with the most important things in life. Her passing has lit up a lot of good memories. Our thoughts are with all of her loved ones. Don and Carol.

Condolence from Vicki Hayter on May 27th, 2024 8:54 AM

Dear Holly and Family:

Cathy and I were fast friends and neighbors living directly across from each other growing up on Richmond Street in Hensall. She was my closest friend and confidante, and I could always count on her for a hearty laugh, dances in the street (while belting out our favorite song “Cecilia”), and many spur-of-the-moment adventures involving skipping ropes. Our parents had numerous fun experiences together and we loved being their neighbors. I am thinking of all of you at this difficult time. Cherish the wonderful memories and know that Cathy was loved and adored by so many.

Condolence from Teresa Hynes on May 27th, 2024 6:57 PM

Our deepest condolences

Condolence from Jane Harvey on May 28th, 2024 11:25 AM

Dearest Holly: I cannot find the words to express how deeply shocked i was to hear of your mother’s passing. Cathy was the youngest of my cousins and has left us too soon. Always remember our days in Parkhill when we would get together at Grandma Day’s house. Condolenses to Jackie, Paula and Peggy and all the family. God bless you.

Saddened to hear of the passing of your mom Holly. We have many memories of our shared time in Woodham with Cate. Our little community was tight and supportive of each other.
