A lady full of life, full of happiness, and full of hospitality. Our condolences to Merv and the boys and their families.

Cathy was a beautiful person and I really enjoyed our time at the cabin and watching the news together. She was very loving, had the kindest heart and the best laugh. Cathy and Merv were very good to me and my parents and I know how much she meant to Merv, Greg and Chris. I am sure she was the best grandma. I am so sorry for your loss and thinking of you all.

Good neighbours become friends, great neighbours become family. Merv, you and Cathy have always felt like family. Armand and I hold dear the memories of our visits throughout the years. Cathy was truly a one of a kind lady. She was much loved and will be dearly missed. Big hugs to you and your boys.

We had the blessing of moving into Whitegates as Kathy and Merv's neighbors in 2006 and we were drawn to them immediately. I can still her here laughter and see the gardens she cared for. We are lucky to have known them and appreciate their kindness, warmth, and life lessons.

I had the blessing of being one of the neighbourhood kids who was loved by Cathy like I was one of her own. Years later, in my 20's, when my wedding was unexpectedly called off, and even though I hadn't spoken to her in years, she wrote me a letter filled with support and encouragement that truly got me through tough times. That feeling of unexpected love never left me, and encouraged me to give that back to others I have met in my life since. I am so lucky to have known her.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Merv and his family. We were neighbours of Merv and Cathy for four years. They have proven over time to have been the best neighbours we have ever had. It has been almost 40 years since that time and we still cherish the memories.. Our two older boys were specially close to Chris and Greg,

Anne and I continued our family friendship with annual exchanges of news and greetings.

Please accept our most sincere condolences.

We met Cathy and Merv in 1967, and our friendship continued over the years in spite of distance.. So many memories were made, Cathy was a wonderful lady and my daughter still talks about how she loved both of you and babysitting the boys.

i will never forget the good times we shared, even when Merv and Terry nearly drove us crazy with their antics. She leaves a void in the heart of everyone who knew her. So sorry for your loss, Merv and family

Deepest heartfelt sympathy to Merv and the family. I met Cathy around 1977 and we worked together for many years and travelled together to several paralegal conferences in Ontario and Nova Scotia. I know her family meant the world to her and Merv was her True Love. She'll be sorely missed.

I knew Cathy during our school years at Lord Nelson, Andrew Mynarski and Sisler High School. Lost touch when they moved to Brandon with Hydro. Then my husband Richard Gatien started golfing with Merv and we reconnected. We had fun evenings playing games. She will be missed. Our deepest sympathy to the family. God bless

My sincerest condolences to Cathy's family at her passing. I had the pleasure of working with Cathy at MLT Aikins for almost 19 years. She was a rare gem of a coworker who exuded kindness no matter how busy she was. This fellow North ender feels privileged to have known her.

My deepest sympathy Merv & Cherewyk family. Cathy, rest in peace my dear friend of 61 years. I met Cathy at C.P. Railway where we worked together for a few years., then continued our friendship as couples through the years.. I have already missed Cathy but will have treasured memories of our good times together. She was a pleasant, humble person who enjoyed life thoroughly.

A lovely lady and grand neighbour as our family's lives crossed over with children and their school activities. Our condolences are most heartfelt for Merv and family.

Dear Merv, it was. sad to read of Cathy's passing this morning. It brought back so many memories of our working together at MTS and the chance running into you and Cathy in Casa Grande, AZ. Lunch dates in Winnipeg and the numerous e-card greetings .we received from you and Cathy over the years.

May God bless Cathy, you and your family.

My deepest condolences Cherewyk family. I did not have the pleasure of meeting your Mother Greg, after working with you for 20 years, I've heard the beautiful memories, and stories of your Mom and Dad over the years, truly the greatest love story. All the treasured photos and memories will live on in your hearts forever.

What a beautiful life and person. One of the greatest love stories ever. She will be so missed and always cherished.
