Dear Carol, Ron, Scott, David and Families

I am just seeing this now.  When I first moved to South River Drive Kathy became my friend.  My parents were so fond of Bob and Pat..., lovely people.  I can still see your mom's smile. I am so sorry for your loss.  Kathy was such a pretty girl and so sweet.  My sincerest condolences to all of Kathy's family.

Sincerely,
Julie Montgomery

My deepest condolences to Kathy's family. I was a friend to Kathy since grade 4 in Manotick and continued to stay in touch through out the years. I had the opportunity to visit her in October last year and reminisce about our childhood. She was a beautiful and gracious woman who had so much love for all especially her family. She will be greatly missed.

Stephen and family,
I was saddened to hear of Kathy's passing. While we had not kept in touch, she was a wonderful friend when we were young (and a little foolish). There are so many memories that make me smile.

Stephen, Trisha, Shannon. I am so sorry for your loss.  Kathy was such a beautiful woman.  Kathy was my big cousin.  Growing up, even after they moved to Manotick,  i have so many precious memories.  During this time of mourning,  cherish all your precious memories.   R I P Kathy 💔
Love
Beverly Brown

I first met Kathy at a group fitness class at my daughters studio. I think we were the more mature ladies at the time. I will always cherish our many workouts together. Rest in peace Kathy

Thinking of you all at this difficult time.  I was so lucky to have Kathy as a friend !

Warm condolences to Stephen and the family. I have many memories of our time at The Tea Room after school in Manotick. I was looking through pictures last month and came across this wedding picture. Kathy's smile and laughter were contagious - a lovely lady inside and out.  May the Lord give her peace & bless her loved ones.

Dear Stephen, Shannon and Tricia,

Please accept my sincere condolences on Kathy's passing.  I first met Kathy in 1996 when I made a career change into Merchant Services.  Kathy was my main contact with CIBC and quite simply, I would not have been as successful without her kind support and advice.   I greatly appreciated it.  

I know that you have all been on a hard journey but I hope that in time the pain of her passing will be replaced with good memories.

I don’t even know what to say. I know that when you lose someone as great as aunt Kathy that a piece of you goes with them. You can’t replace the memories and love. I just hope that everyone heals quickly and the lessons she taught you and words of wisdom she gave guide you through this and to pass it on to the next generation so they can be just as amazing. Love you guys.

Stephen, Tricia, Shannon & family, we are so sorry for your loss. I was fortunate to have worked with Kathy not only once but twice.  She was a wonderful & fun person to be around. I have many fond memories with Kathy & we shared tons of laughs.

She will be missed by many.  Rest in peace my friend.

Stephen, Tricia, Shannon and all the family..
From the moment I met Kathy at CIBC , we always had the best of times together. Kathy was such an easygoing, funny, kind and loving woman and her entire family included me on many special occasions over the years. 
She truly was one of a kind and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her, me included.
Condolences to you all
Kathy Manion(Smail)

We are so saddened by Kathy’s passing. There are so many wonderful memories of the fun times that we had in our youth.  Our deepest condolences, Jeff and Claire Carter

Hello, I worked with Kathy at CIBC in the early 90's and we were responsible for implementing this 'new' technology into businesses, called debit card! Sounds funny to say now but it was ground breaking at the time. Kathy was a great colleague, always looking at the positive. She loved her family and was a volunteer extraordinaire in the soccer community. I hadn't spoken to to her in some time but I have fond memories of our time together. Condolences to family and friends.
