So sorry to hear about the passing of my Aunty Kathy. I have so many fond memories of my times with her at Shanty Bay. Betting on world cups, talking about life, eating ice cream bars from the bunky and playing with her beloved golden retrievers. I hope she finds the peace and rest that her kind soul deserves.

Dearest Granny Kathy,
My heart breaks writing this, I hope you are at peace with your fur babies and Papa.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories! From afterschool visits with your famous smarties, your annual Christmas parties, and those delicious frozen strawberries, driving the golf carts in Ocean Reef and walking the dogs on the golf course (after hours of course), avoiding the zebra mussels in Shanty Bay with our water shoes and playing American Girl Dolls together, to feeding Rosie carrots in Creemore.
Your home in Hoggs Hollow was always a welcoming place and felt like a second home, whether it was helping and teaching me to drive, walking the dog(s), watching afternoon tv shows or our sleepovers and late-night chats, you always made me feel welcomed, loved and like I belonged.
I value and appreciate all our memories and will cherish them always! You were an amazing granny to me, and I miss you deeply.
I hope you are resting peacefully surrounded by Papa all your beautiful golden retrievers - fur babies (Dakari, Bimini, BJ & Asia). I love you and miss you Granny Kathy, forever & always!!! <3
Love always, Beverley xoxo

Bob and I were so blessed to have known Kathy and Frank. They were, much to our gratitude, our daughter Joanna´s other mom and dad. We always knew how much they loved her and they shared that love with us, too, whenever we came to Toronto. Kathy was gracious beyond gracious, kind beyond kind,, generous beyond generous, loving beyond loving and caring beyond caring. She and Frank made this world a better place and we are so grateful to have shared a portion of that kinder, gentler world with them. May she and Frank rest in peace. May their memory be a blessing!

I had the incredible good fortune to meet Kathy (and Frank) shortly after I moved to Toronto, and was blessed to spend many years with them and their beloved Goldens creating treasured memories in Hogg´s Hollow, Shanty Bay, Ocean Reef and Collingwood. We spent many holiday meals and celebrations together, along with just regular days watching Jeopardy and countless dog walks! I am so grateful for those times together.
Over the years Kathy was like a second Mom to me, along with being a good friend. She was funny, kind, generous and I always knew I could count on her advice. She was incredibly devoted to Frank, and their love for each other was an inspiration. Being a part of their lives was a priceless gift.
Once I moved away from Toronto although I was not physically close we would always pick up the conversation where we had left it, and our love for each other was a given.
I know that Kathy is in a magical place now with Frank and all of their Golden Retrievers. Rest in peace dear Kathy. Much love to you; you will always hold a special place in my heart.

Dear auntie Kathy, who shared stories of farm days, global travels and cherished pets, who saw me through life's challenges and took care of my mom in her last days, who always knew the cool sweater to get a kid, and who almost taught me stick shift. My dear aunt who was there when many were not, who would put on a brave face and be a cheerleader in the toughest times, and who brought such laughter to my life. I miss you dear Kathy and wish you much peace and joy. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and for all that you and uncle Frank brought to my life. May you dance in style to Sinatra up there!
Much love,
Tatiana

I will never forget the day, 40 plus years ago, when Kathy and Frank arrived in Toronto from Montreal and became our neighbours on Russell Hill Rd.
Our dogs brought us together and we became best friends. We walked miles with Bimini, Dakari, Tasha and Sheena, three times a day, solving all the problems of the world during our walks in the ravines.
Special times were spent together at Shanty Bay, Creemore and Ocean Reef.
Kathy and Frank moved to Hoggs Hollow. It seemed so far away and it wasn´t long before Wally and I followed and once again we became neighbours.
Kathy had a heart of gold and I feel so lucky to have had her in my life.
I am grateful for the memories and for every moment we spent together.
R.I.P. my dear friend. You will never be forgotten!!

Kathy and Frank were dear friends both in Ontario and at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo FL. We had lots of good times and miss them both. Our condolences to her nieces.

Kathy was a great gal! I have many fond memories of times together with her and Frank at the farm. She was always so generous, sweet and loved to laugh. When I am golfing, I always think of Kathy as I get ready to putt. She once told me to hold the putter like you are holding a baby bird in your hand...and I try to do that.
May you rest in peace, Kathy.
