To the entire Moran family. A lot of time has passed but we have very fond memories of your mom as a teacher at St. A and a Moore St. neighbor. Blessings to all of you during this difficult time. David Kotai on behalf of the Kotai family.

Dear Moran Family…..our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Many memories of events at St. A’s and Christ the King Parish come to mind that Cathy was a part of–and her presence made a positive impression. Being the Grade 6 teacher to 4 McLeod’s–and making them all better students and citizens. Roald Dahl books and the Boston Bruins are two memories that come to mind when I think of Cathy and St. A’s. Her classroom was the first time that I saw a CD player!
May the memories that you share, as well as the prayers of friends be a comfort to you at this time.
Hugh & Jean
