Helen: I'm sorry for your loss. Tim

My deepest sympathy to everyone connected to Cathy but especially Bill. I started out with Cathy when she created her business Graphic Facts in the basement of her house. We worked many long hours and had tons of laughs. Cathy was a force to be reckoned with and God help you if you were in her way! I loved her positive attitude and always ready to see the good things in life.

Dear Rose, Helen, Nicole and Andrew: We were saddened to read about the death of your Sister/Aunt. Our condolences to you at this time as you mourn her loss. Sincerely Lloyd and Shirley

Cathy, first a friend and second a business associate. I will always be in awe of her spirit of living life . She continued to remind me by the way she lived her life that we all should stop and take stock in our lives. She was one of the most amazing people I have ever meet. I am sad for Bill as he has truly lost someone special .

I have the privilege of knowing Cathy, Bill and family since I was a teen. Cathy took a chance on me by giving me my first break in my career at Graphic Facts. A strong, motivated, goal oriented and passionate woman both in business and in life. A fantastic mentor, roll model, friend and extended family member. We have lost a beautiful person. She will be deeply missed but my family and I will be forever grateful that she, Bill and their family are part of our lives. Cathy, a day doesn't go by that I don't think of you and thank you for being in my life. You will never be forgotten and are forever in our hearts. God bless.

Cathy was a great inspiration to all of us at the Thursday morning quilt classes as well as at our Hearts and Hands Quilt group. Anyone meeting her was never the same :-)!! She was a true inspiration to us as she faced her life with such courage and optimism. She didn't talk much about herself, but wanted to get those quilts done to bless other people. And, she was passionate about making quilts for the chemo unit at our local hospital after receiving one herself before getting into quilting. We will miss Cathy dearly at our Thursday morning classes. Praying for you Bill and the rest of the family as you grieve your loss. It was good to be with you this morning sharing memories together. May God give you much strength!!

As so many, I too had the privilege of knowing Cathy. Such a all around wonderful lady-- we share work projects and many laughs over the years when I was in London with Northrup King. I will never forget her. God Bless and my condolences to the Family.

Thinking of all the family .... Our name might not be familiar to some of you but have memories way back of your family, knowing your Mother Mildred, your Grandparents Mr. & Mrs. Essery who worked at our farm for my Dad, Gordon Gracey. We send our heartfelt sympathy to all the family at this very sad and difficult time. Sincerely, Fred & Shirley

Our condolences to Bill & the family.Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

My heart is heavy for the family. I knew Cathy through business and had not seen her in recent years. But when we were in contact, I found her to be such a dynamic and outgoing personality and it was such a pleasure to know her. My deepest sympathy to Bill and all who will miss her.

It occurred to me recently that Cathy Burnett was my very own Auntie Mame. She had an enthusiasm for life that was contagious and a way of opening your eyes to possibilities you hadn't even considered. She was generous, compassionate, fun loving, gregarious and tenacious and I'm very grateful she was in my life. Bill's care for Cathy, both physically and emotionally, reflects the depth of his love for her and I feel privileged to have witnessed it. That is what love looks like. All my love to Bill and Cathy's entire family.

My condolences go to the Family !!! May She rest in Peace!!

Cathy, you will be so missed in my life. You made our quilt meetings so joyful. We always had a smile on our faces with you among us. Your positive attitude for life was contageous and it will be missed each 1st Monday of the month and always. Bill, I never got to meet you but you could tell by the way Cathy spoke your name, you were the love of her life.

Cathy was a well loved part of our Thursday morning quilt group. She had an enthusiasm for life and always had a positive attitude even when she wasn't feeling the best. Her humor had us laughing many times. Cathy was artistic and challenged us many times with her new and unusual twist to a design for her quilts. I will really miss Cathy on Thursday mornings and am grateful to God for having the opportunity to have had her in my life. She spoke with love about Bill many times and I am sure that her passing has put a void in your life, Bill. I will pray for you and may God be with you as you continue life without Cathy.

I miss you already Cathy darling. You have and always will be my mentor for life. You are the most courageous and most compassionate person I have ever met. Rest in peace my friend. You will never be forgotten!! xo

My condolences to the family. Rest in peace.

To Bill and Barry, we are so very sorry for the loss of your wife and sister. We hope the memories you have of Cathy, her sense of humour, enthusiasm for life and compassion for others will continue in your hearts forever. May you find peace and strength in the difficult days ahead.

My condolences to the family, think of you all during this difficult time. Cathy was a wonderful person, so strong, and truly an inspiration. May she rest in peace.

Dear Cathy, You had such a big heart my friend. You always had a way to make me laugh. You taught me to get on with life and to always look forward and never backwards. Yes, you were a great friend and mentor. You brought out my creativity in ways I never imagined. I will never forget our visits in Port Stanley ... gabbing and laughing in the sunshine with our feet up. Those are the times I will cherish the most. I feel really blessed to have known you and to have witnessed Bill's loving care and compassion for you. xoxo My genuine heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to Bill and Cathy's family at this time.

On behalf of our families (Nariwonczyk ) our hearts are heavy...we have lost one of our own! You have always been fondly thought of and always will be. Our busy lives may have taken us into different directions , but our hearts never far behind . To Bill and the Zavitz family , may the love and strength you have in each other help you in the days to come with the loss of "our" sister ...Cathy ! God Bless!
