On behalf of my family and the Bell clan as a whole, we want to give thanks to be blessed to have our beloved Aunt Cathy as a part of our lives.
I had the unique opportunity to share birthdays which always gave us a special bond.
A cornerstone of every Bell family function, she also stepped in effortlessly as care giver to my brother Mike and I while our parents traveled.
When a career move brought me to Hensall area, I was welcomed into Cathy and Bill’s home as one of their own. That was a treasured time when I could indulge in Aunt Cathy’s cooking including meatloaf that was from out of this world.
Even in her final days, her bond with our family was a strong as ever, as she wanted word on how my mother, Kenlynn, was doing.
Our ever loving, feisty little Scottish lass will always be remembered with love and joy for the part she played as a Bell.
