Cathy brings me into the past with great memories. As a teenage friend of her younger sister Marlene, I hung around the Gale home for days and hours on end. Mr and Mrs Gale were always so warm and welcoming. Cathy was like a big sister to both Marlene and me. She always had sound advice and certainly kept an eye on us. We looked up to her with awe and admiration. She was older and smarter. I remember Paul and Cathy in their early dating years before they married. They were the perfect couple who absolutely adored one another. Cathy was a beautiful dresser. Always in the latest of fashions. Always cheerful with a smile that made you think that all was right with the world. It’s that smile and loving ways that warm my heart to this day! Rest in peace Cathy! May the angels carry you swiftly into heaven to join your loving Paul. Donna Cunningham (Babey) Toronto - Posted by: Donna Cunningham (Friend) on: Sep 24, 2023
