Cathy and I both cut our clinical teeth at St. Mikes and we both trained in neuropathology at the University of Toronto, at the same time. More than a comrade, she was like an older sister who offered advise and guidance, whether I asked for it or not. I will miss her.

Catherine was my esteemed research collaborator, colleague, and friend. She was taken from us far too soon. Her generosity and kindness will be forever remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing her. My heartfelt condolences to her family.

Catherine was an incredible friend of many, I was lucky enough to see her three times a week for the past 10 years. Her warmth and love was so inviting, she was taken from us far to soon and will greatly be missed by so many. I will keep her in my heart forever. Rest in Peace Catherine, love you and miss you.

This is so sad and shocking.
She has left too early.

Catherine was a lovely lady that I enjoyed interacting with over many years as we held training sessions with neuropath residents at the Sick Childrens Hospital and our interactions through the CANP.

She was a great colleague and a good and witty person. I am very saddened by her premature departure. I am trying to get a picture of Cathy to put into our professional Society In Memoriam. Will her nieces/nephews have a picture to share? Please forward to [email protected]

Catherine will be missed. She was my Aunt for more than 30 years and Christmas will not be the same without her! She was my strongest source of support when I was losing my Mother to cancer. A "real" person who spoke her mind, sugar coated nothing and helped everyone!!
I loved you very much and will miss you.
