Our condolences to Cathy's family. Cathy was a compassionate, very caring lady who was always there to lend a helping hand and kind words. She will be missed very much by those who were lucky to know her. Such a "classy, witty lady". Our thoughts are with her family during this difficult time. Wendy, Jim and Katrina
Cathy, you were a wonderful person, kind, patient and intensely devoted to those you loved....your children, your husband and your friends. Although we were family, you were my friend...and always will be. You took as much from life as you possibly could....always courageous, positive and hopeful! You inspired all those around you....the world is a little less without you here. Rest in peace my friend, without pain for the first time in so long!
My condolences to all the Donohue family. Cathy was such a dear and beautiful lady. May you all hold and cherish her compassion, wisdom and charm close to you every day. I will forever remember her kind and caring friendship. Rest in peace, Cathy. Anne Knops
I was honoured to have met Cathy through teaching her son, Brian. She was a loving, supportive and proud parent - we will all miss her at our horn class concerts at Western.
I am heartbroken to hear of Cathy's passing. Brian and my son Mark have been friends since junior kindergarten. I loved Cathy's smile, her kindness and her fierce love for her family. To the Donohue family, I express my sincere condolences. You left many gifts on Earth, Cathy. The moon and the stars are brighter and more vibrant now that you are in their grasp.
Our condolences to the family. Cathy was a wonderful person and friend and will be dearly missed. She loved and gave so much of herself to others and can now rest in peace having fulfilled her purpose here on earth. She can now enjoy eternity free of pain in the presence of her Lord and Savior.
Hello Larry, Bruck Easton informed me of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. Please contact me when you have the time. Peter
