    Our prayers are with you. I remember Cathy from music events, prayer times, and just seeing her around Cochrane now and again. She always had a smile and a good word. She will be missed. I know she had a strong faith, and fortitude to finish the race. Her example is an inspiration to me. The last two lines of the famous poem “Death Be Not Proud” read: “One short sleep past, we wake eternally. And death shall be no more. Death – thou shalt die!” Another famous poem I have memorized this year is by GK Chesterton, called “The Convert”. Beautiful words. Worth the read. We must remember: GOD WINS. Viva Christo Rey. N.

    Cathy was a wonderful lady who had much love and energy to share with those around her. Over the years there was much our families shared; our faith in God, homeschooling, Kid’s for Christ, organizing classes, birthdays for friends, graduations, catering Amy’s wedding. Cathy was a joyful women who was selfless and dedicated to her family and community. She touched the lives of so many and will be greatly missed. We are praying that God stays close and gives you comfort and peace as you keep in your heart the many blessings & memories that you shared with her. Sending our love to all. John & Harriet and family

    Bob and kids. We were so sad to learn of Cathy’s passing. Cathy was such a blessing to everyone that knew her, especially those of us that know her children, for they all carry a part of their Mom with them. That is her beautiful legacy. Her giving spirit and sense of humor were gifts that we all cherish when we think of her. Always cheerful, always ready to jump in to lend a helping hand- Cathy will be missed greatly. Our loss is heaven’s gain. May the grace of our Lord and His mercy comfort you and your families at this difficult time.
