Dear Gareth and Anita
Since hearing about your mother's sad passing, the memories of Cathy have come tumbling back. A broad smile, a tinkling eye, a mischievious look. A vague memory of driving back from Butlins in Pwllheli with laughter pealing out in the car. A warm home, both sides of the Atlantic, where one was made to feel instantly at home and where nothing was too much trouble. And lots and lots of love for her family and friends.
Our thoughts are very much with you. Time does heal, though it won't be rushed. Love grows.
Take care of yourselves.
Emyr, Karen, Gruffudd and Eos xxxxx

Gareth,
It is obvious that your mum has left a wonderful legacy in her stories and in her sense of humour. Mum and I are so happy that we had an opportunity to meet Catherine, and for some of her spirit to touch our lives. A particular memory that will never leave us was her recollection of the moment, soon after your family arrived in Montreal, that your Mum realized she was never going to master the French language because the Scottish accent and French pronounciation will never mix. In learning the days of the week Lundi was OK, Mardi was OK, but when it came to Mercredi, all that she could muster was McCrady.
We laughed til we cried at this rendition and from then on your dear Mum became Mrs McCrady to us, much to her amusement.
God bless you Catherine we will never forget you.
Irene and Nina Dziedzic

We were deeply saddened to hear the news about Cathy. We enjoyed all the fun times we spent with her. She always brightened up every room she walked into given her cheery smile and witty sense of humour. She was a lovely lady who will be greatly missed. We appreciated her hospitality when we stayed at her home when we all went to the Magic Show in Niagara on the Lake and she looked after Chloe. We also have fond memories of celebrating the millenium with her when you all pop over. Our thought are with you at this very sad time. Leslie, Laurie and Chloe.

My Dearest Gareth and Anita,
How does one start to tell you how special Cathy was to us!!! A classy, funny lady that filled our lives with laughter. Not to mention her talents with the mouth watering shortbread ....Cathy was generous on several levels. She was giving of her time and was a great listener. When I was still in my early 20's and had not yet embarked on my career in Science, I look forward to our monthly lunches. We worked nearby in adjoining office buildings in Downtown Montreal. Cathy initiated these all-girl lunches. We delighted in light chatter and enjoyed our lunch time drink. Cathy was always filled with interest tales of her youth or the goings on at the office. We spent some delightful moments together and I looked forward to the next lunch with much anticipation. Cathy was not only Gareth's mom...she was also my friend...Yes, I knew that if I needed to bend someone's ear...Cathy would be there to listen to me and guide me...After I met my husband to be...she again became more than Gareth's mom to him as well. Paul and Cathy also shared a special bond...She would sneak cigarettes from him and made him promise not to tell anyone!!! And he kept his word....Cathy...was family to my children as well....She was that fun-living lady who lived in a big house with a snake and she had an accent the children could not always comprehend...But...inspite of the language barrier...my daughter refused to speak English in those days...Cathy always made the children feel welcomed and they knew that someone...though far away...thought of them and cared for them...We as a family want Gareth and Anita to know how sorry we are for this loss!!! She will never be forgotten at the Oliver household...Cathy touched everyone she met...She was so special...She was able to laugh at herself...able...to charm us with her Scottish venicular and wit....able to make us feel that we too were special to her...She cared...she loved...she was a joy to befriend...I will miss her...but...I still have wonderful memories she helped imprint in my heart and mind....I am sure that now that she has joined her beloved Ted and Greg...that...they are looking down on us and keeping us safe...I just want to request two things from her....Cathy....please...have Ted serve you a Scotch and drink it in my name...and secondly...I have a very...very...very special friend...that shares your genes...please continue to keep him safe and send him the strenght to carry on this journey without the three of you....
Love always....you may have left this material world....but...the time you spend on its fragile surface...will never be forgotten...Here's looking at you kid....We raise our glass to you...and say...till we meet again...

Our family was already living on Summerton Place when Cathy, Ted and "the boys" moved in. Over the years, Cathy became more than a neighbour as she was always available to all for a chat, chuckle and anecdote. She was loved by all of us and never failed to ask about our children as they grew older. Cathy was famous for her love of animals as well as reptiles.
On Sunday, June 20th, we received a phone call from Cathy asking for help. I went immediately as Cathy NEVER asked for help. On my arrival it was apparent that she was gravely ill. Larry and I called 911 - I accompanied her in the ambulance while Larry and the other neighbours remained at the house. After arriving at the ER, I called Cathy's house to inform everyone that we had arrived safely and that Cathy was being resuscitated. Much to my amazement, I was informed that her pet snake was missing and could I please ask Cathy where it could be!! I returned to the resuscitation area where Cathy was lying quietly receiving oxygen and several IV medications - surrounded by several nurses and the doctor. I leaned close to Cathy and asked, "Where's the snake?". She barely opened her eyes and with a tiny sparkle in her voice said, "Sherlock is somewhere in the bedroom! I was cleaning his cage earlier and he got out, but I'm sure he's there somewhere." She was calm and matter of fact but the rest of us gave a collective gasp!
I've been an RN in emergency for 37 years and that was the first time I had ever asked someone having a heart attack - "Where is your snake?" !!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Gareth and Anita,
I'm so sorry that this day has come. I think about your mum and how much I'll miss her - and how much more this is for you. She was a gentle warm person, always in good cheer with me and very proud of her family. She made me feel like family myself. She gave me good memories - and a lasting appreciation of proper shortbread - and I hope you find consolation in your memories of her and of your time together.
Take care, Mike.
