Over the years I always heard such high praise for Catherine within the family but it was only in the last 10 years or so I got to know her personally. I enjoyed so much our visits in her lovely apt, and her razor sharp mind was a delight to me! I admired how well she dealt with her Celiac condition . It showed her very practical nature; if certain foods were not good for her, well she just didn't eat them, period. I'll miss her on my visits to Wpg., but know she is FREE! - Posted by: Ruth Reid (Second cousin) on: Jan 04, 2012

So many great memories, most centered around CFC activities. Choir, hosting the youth group, being a wonderful friend to my parents, and to us. She had a great sense of humour, and a world class laugh! Beautiful. - Posted by: Barry Janzen () on: Jan 04, 2012
