There will be a Celebration of her life Friday, July 20th, 2018 from 5:00 to 8:00 at her home. Donations if needed should be made to the Toronto Humane Society since she loved animals so much. Quotes Cathy liked Scars are badges of war. They are physical paths of the battlegrounds, and of battles won. Despite the darkness, there is hope to light the way. I follow the light. If you struggle with saying goodbye, Close your eyes, and remember the good. And let me go. I did not choose to be his instrument. But if my disease, my pain, my suffering, both physical and mental, helps those around me be better people, make better life decisions, take time to better love those around them, then so be it. Shoulda, woulda, coulda...don't look back on your life with regrets. There was so much I should have done, I would have done, I could have done...I wish I'd done.... Don't cry because I'm gone...smile because I was here. I hope your lives are full of love, as mine has been. Interview by Rebecca Miller Rebecca: "How did you feel when you first found out you had cancer?" Cathy: "I was scared to die and leave my daughter alone. I was very angry that I didn't get to live the life I wanted to live. I was especially scared to tell my parents, guilty really of having to put them through hell. Parents shouldn't have to bury their children " Rebecca: "Whats the hardest part about living with it?" Cathy: "I don't have my life anymore, I want to be able to go back work, the simplest of things are even hard for me now. I just tell myself how i'm not ready to go and just "one foot in front of the other" and smile through the pain"
