Cathy Gregory, aged 65 years of Moose Jaw, SK passed away in the arms of her son Shawn on Sunday, November 25th, 2018 after a short but courageous fight with cancer. Cathy was born in Lethbridge, AB in December 1952 to Robert Toombs and Valerie Toombs (née: Gomersall). She was the oldest of a family of four: sisters, Roberta and Pat and brother, Kelly.

Cathy married the love of her life, Steve Gregory, and lived the nomadic life of a military family. Home was where she was at that moment, and home and family were very important to Cathy. She was predeceased by her husband, Steve; her parents; and her sister, Roberta.

Cathy is survived by her son, Shawn; her daughter, Shanna Petreman McNeil and her family - husband Pat, sons Adam and Michael, and great-granddaughter Elizabeth; her youngest son, Scott and his wife Grace, and Cathy’s pride and joy grandson, Stephen; brother, Kelly; sister, Pat (Ryan) and her sons Cooper and Tyson Mason; and Roberta’s children, Krizsta (Eric) and William (Heather, Josh and Graham).

This notice would be ten pages long if all of Cathy’s accomplishments were to be listed. Words would never be able to truly define that is what was Cathy. This poem is closest to what was truly one Grand Lady and her wishes. 

 

If I am called before you 

And you’re left to carry on 

Somethings I’d like to ask of you 

When my time here is done 

I’d like to be remembered 

For the kindness I once shared 

I’d like to be remembered 

For the way I loved and cared 

To honour me, keep reaching out 

Stand tall, and walk with love 

Know that I’ll be smiling down 

As I watch from above 

I know that you will miss me 

And that there will be tears shed 

But please remember the good I’ve done 

And how my life was led… 

To honour me and the love we shared 

Just do this simple thing 

Find the song within your heart 

And sing my darling… sing 

I wish so much for you, dear one 

That strength takes over fear 

That when you're sad, you persevere 

That laughter takes your tears 

So do your best, and live your life 

And know with certainty 

That I’m watching over you 

Although you cannot see 

Soon enough your day will come 

We’ll be together then 

Remember me with love and smiles 

Until we meet again.
