It was a pleasure to always have Cath by my side at work on our night shifts, she was such a devoted, and extremely kind person in all that she done at work for her residents over many many years. I, along with other work colleagues are deeply saddened that you are no longer with us to share catch ups and cuppa teas. Its a sad time for us night shift staff of peacehaven in losing such a respected and well liked person you were Cath.

Always willing to lend a hand if someone else needed it. We enjoyed our chats a lot and just laughing on things. I learned a lot from her. She was a blessing to many people. Me, Anne and your other colleagues will miss you. Thank you for your friendship, Cath. You're in a better place now, our friend. May your soul rest in peace. 🙏
