I am saddened to hear about the loss of Cathy.
Never had the privilege of meeting her, but have worked with (and for) her brother Brian for many years. He spoke highly of her, and one thing I recall was how intelligent she was, and the love he had for his dear sister.
So sorry for your loss.

Expressing my sincere Condolence to the Cormier Family. I worked with Cathy on 5D Halifax Infirmary for 10 yrs. Cathy was a kind, caring and extremely knowledgeable nurse. We worked many shift together and we sometimes laughed until we cried. We got along well as we were both talkers. We re connected over social media and it was just like old again.

My condolences to the family for the loss of Cathy, and the pain you bear. We are never ready to pass away, at any age, which shows that our Creator, Jehovah, did not purpose life to end. A comforting Bible promise to look forward to is when God "will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more . . . nor pain be anymore" in the paradise to come, in which these "former things have passed away" right here on the earth. (Revelation 21:4) Please accept these thoughts towards the family.

When I recently called my dear, lifelong friends, Veronica and Wilfred, to wish them happy new year, by chance Cathy answered the phone. It was the first time we’d spoken in many years, and now, at the indescribably sad news of her premature passing, I am so glad we had that little chat. That day, she was upbeat and optimistic, and I choose to remember her that way.
Poor Cathy, diagnosed with cancer when just a young woman—which she beat, thank heavens—and faced with other health issues, did not always have an easy journey through life. But she accomplished a lot nonetheless, especially in her nursing profession and through her assorted voluntary causes.
We are not built to outlive our children, so my heart goes out above all to Veronica and Wilfred. But I ache too for Brian and Lisa, and for all the family and friends who loved and supported Cathy.
My heartfelt apology for not being there with you. Were I in Canada right now, you know I’d join you.

My heartfelt condolences to Cathy's family and friends. I worked with Cathy for approximately 10 years on 5D, the ophthalmology unit in the old Halifax Infirmary. We had many chats and laughs during our shifts, and socialized a little outside of work. Due to Facebook, we reconnected this past year, and it was great to see her humour hadn't changed.
I understand she had been ill, so I'm glad she is now at peace, while saddened by a life taken too young.

We will miss her smile, laughter, and her funny stories.
I met Cathy in 1981 when I was a student nurse and we worked many years together.
Cathy was an excellent and knowledgeable RN and I learned so much from her especially in the early years of my career.
Her personal appearance both casual and professional was impeccable. Her penmanship just as impeccable.
She knew how to comfort and humour her patients and they loved her.
Not so much these past several years but before that Cathy enjoyed coming to our home for supper.
How she entertained our dogs, kids and budgies too (Especially Pete and only Cathy would get this. I can almost hear her laughing as I write this!)
Our trip to Calgary in 1999 for an Ophthalmology conference was most memorable. She loved the adventure.
I have many memories of Cathy and many reminders, most notably 3 Christmas ornaments that don our tree each year and numerous pairs of earrings that were gifts.
I will always cherish our last visit the end of July at her Valley home, our last telephone call just before Xmas and my last Birthday card in October.
She will always be in my heart.
Carla XX
Our sincere condolences to Cathy's parents, Family, and to all who will miss her.

My favourite memory of Cathy is one summer afternoon, her and my mother were sunbathing on the deck when Cathy offered her lime flavoured popsicle to our dog Keltie who proceeded to take a few licks before Cathy continued to finish the popsicle, much to the dismay of mom.
As a child, every time I saw her car pull up in front of our house a smile would spread across my face because I knew that I was in for an hour or two of fun and laughs and usually a glass or two of Pepsi.
I have always cherished these memeories and the time I was able to spend with Cathy.

My sincere condolence on the passing of your beloved Cathy. I was privileged to have met her when she provided care to my husband when he was an Opthomology patient. Her care and compassion for my husband and other patients was unsurpassed. It was a comfort to meet someone from “home” and who had an uncanny familiarity despite never having met her before. It is undeniable that another angel has received her wings. Please take good care during this most difficult time.
