Uncle Bert, Donna, Julia, Jim, Joe and families. Please accept our deepest condolences from Timmins and we are sorry to be unable to attend. Aunt Cathy will well be remembered as an ever happy woman who always welcomed friends and family. I can't recall ever seeing her without a big smile and that is definitely how I will always remember her. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers today as I reflect on how lucky we all are to be a part of such an amazing extended family. Frank O'Donnell (aka "little Frank" or "baby Frank") and family. May you rest in peace Aunt Cathy.
