Sister Catherine was the epitome of faith, joy and love. Her smile brought smiles to others and her gentle voice gave food to the soul. She stood fast to her faith and spread to others. God bless her. May she rest in peace.
I lived with Catherine at St. AIDAN’S in Williston Park. She was a cheerful person and spoke with everyone she met whether she knew them or not. She would introduce someone as her friend and then turn to them and say “what’s your name.” Rest in peace Catherine.
Sister Robert Louise was my grade 4 teacher at St. joseph’s Reserve Mines. She was a sweetheart. Thought of her often and actually have a picture of her taken way back when. Sincere condolences to her family.
