To the Monteiro/Tainsh family...I am so sorry for your loss. Your wife/mom was a great lady and a very good friend of mine. She was a big support at work to me and to many other co-workers. She will be missed terribly. God bless.

To the Monteiro/Tainsh family, words seem so inadequate to say how sorry I am about Cathy. Her kindness and compassion to all and her love for her family was inspiring. I hope it brings some comfort to know she was loved and how much she meant to us all. Cathy will never be far from my thoughts or prayers.

To Cathy's family...I have worked with Cathy for many years. She was a very caring person and empathetic to all her clients, a true professional in every sense of the word! We had a lot of fun times together. She will be sorely missed! You can cherish all the fond memories you have of her, as I will too. I was honored to be one of her friends. Take care and God bless all of you!
