Cathy you were taken from us far to early and we were devastated when we heard the terrible news of your illness. You will live on in our memory as this wonderful person with your radiant smile. You will be missed by all those close to you, especially Craig, Marisa and Laura, but also by your Mum, sister and brothers. Rest in peace dearest niece.

Her smile has gone forever, her voice we cannot hear, but we have our beautiful memories of a one we loved so dear. Cathy was always so warm and welcoming, I have many wonderful memories of her. One thing that will always shine brightest in my memories is her smile. You will be missed Cathy.

Cathy you were an amazing person. I still remember spending time with you and the family when we first arrived in New Zealand. You were a wonderful cousin, always smiling and the life of the party. You will be greatly missed by all. RIP. I was unable to attend the funeral in person, but took the time today to watch a beautiful service. Our thoughts, preyers and love go out to all the family and friends.

We have such fun memories of Cathy when she worked with Evan back in the ASB Accounting days. Was so great to see Cathy & Craig more recently in Tauranga. Thinking of all of you at this sad time.

Cathy, you were such a wonderful colleague who I am so blessed to have worked with. Thoughts and prayers with Craig, Marissa, Laura, and family, I am so sorry for your loss.

My dear friend . Taken far too soon, we will miss you but remember you as the fun loveling soul you always were. We had great times which we will remember forever.

Thank you for being the most wonderful aunty to us all, we will cherish our memories with you forever. We love and appreciate you more than words can say xxxx

So incredibly sad to hear of your passing, Cathy. I have so many amazing memories of growing up in your house—thanks to your love, care, and endless hospitality. I’ll always remember your big smile and laugh—you put up with so much of our mischief, yet never once complained (well, not to us anyway! Ha ha). Sending all my love to Craig, Laura, and Marissa during this difficult time. xx

To Janny and the family from those of us at Maria Assumpta parish who watched Cathy and her siblings grow up. We send sympathy and prayers at this sad time. Suzie McCarthy on behalf of the parish.

Awe Cathy, com'on, too soon, too young. While we haven't been in touch recently, we had a great time in our younger years, along with Craig of course :-). Life is short, but you had a great one. I do giggle at you being called 'Catharina', I only heard your Mum calling you that twice, both times when you were in trouble for something. Thanks for your love and tolerance when we were younger, especially with putting up with my many girlfriends (don't laugh Craig, I had hair then...). Say Hi to both our Mum's and Dad's for me.
