Catherine was my neighbor down the hall for the last several years. We shared many laughs over something cold on a summer's day on her balcony. She was always upbeat and positive and there when you needed her. I will miss her. - Posted by: Kelly Mallette (Neighbour in The General Grant Apartments) on: Oct 06, 2015

Catherine truly was one spunky lady. I enjoyed getting to know her at the General Grant. She was always so friendly, full of stories and she always made sure I had an orange as a thank you for helping her out. I am sorry to hear that Catherine has passed away, but now she can now rest in comfort. - Posted by: Jacqueline () on: Oct 05, 2015
