Your humour, wit, beautiful nature , your smile, your laugh we will always remember.
Thankyou for all the awesome sponges with passionfruit icing, which were always a highlight at any Linton function over the years.
Thankyou for your friendship.and for the laughs! May you rest peacefully with your Bob who you have missed for many years. Special love to Cath’s best friend, Shirl.Nan,
I only known you has Nan or Great Nan.You were one of the most beautiful souls I’ve ever encountered in my life. The love, care, and support you provided to everyone around you were truly remarkable. Your ability to light up faces in a room and to connect with people, even over the phone from million miles away, was a special gift you only possessed.
I am truly forever grateful for all the love and support you gave your granddaughter Lee and your great-granddaughter Zoey. You have profoundly shaped their lives and helped them both grow into strong, confident women who embody the qualities you exemplified in your life.
The love and respect you showed me as someone outside the family were genuinely inspiring. When you called me on my birthday throughout the years, it was a humble expression of kindness that touched my heart forever. I strive to live up to that kindness towards others, just as you did.
Thank you for being yourself and for touching our hearts and souls in a way that has forever changed how we live our lives.

January 9, 2025I was saddened to hear of Cathy’s’ passing. She was a friend to ever-committed to her Yinnar community and had the sharpest wit with the most genuine smile. Her skills in the kitchen were second to none. Thinking of all family members; keep your spirits high and memories tight.
