We were very sad to hear of Cathy's passing.
Although we had lost contact with Cathy over the years, we go back a long way to Hawera and to visits to Te Kuiti with our young families mingling.
There are very happy memories of time spent with Cathy and her four boys who are in our thoughts at this time.
We remember Cathy's smile and laugh and generosity and her kindness to Grandma Rawles when she was at Hillview.
