Kawano (Nairn)
Cathy (Catherine)
"Blue Gramma"
Jan. 5, 1942 ~ Sept. 14, 2006
Predeceased by her father William Nairn, and her sons Bobby Mckim & Kevin
Kawano.
Survived by her loving husband of 45 years Gene Kawano; Mother Joan Nairn
(Bill), sisters: Phylis (Don) Whitehead, Andrea (Joe) Patenaude, Sherry
(Larry) Grant, Lori (Bob) Van Humbeck, children; Candice (Lorne) Lanes,
Randy (Mary) Mckim, Mandy Kawano (Paul), Calvin (Sharon) Kawano,
Grandchildren: Ashley & Cole Lanes, Corey Kawano, Crystal, Kameron & Dylan
Mckim, Kyle Bohati, Melissa & Samantha Kawano; last but not least her
faithful dog and companion Kuma.
We lost a beautiful angel today, the Matriarch of the family and our "Rock".
She was a very unique lady with many qualities and class. She brought out
the best in all of us and inspired us to overcome life's challenges. This
was her way of teaching and making everyone she touched a better person. Her
intentions and heart always came from a place of love.
Cathy had so many endearing qualities that touched us all. Here's just a few
that came to mind from her family and friends: "Cathy was a mentor/role
model of incredible strength and courage", "she was a straight shooter (and
told you like it was)". She had the greatest sense of dark humor that
everyone loved and enjoyed. You could always be yourself and not be afraid
to express your thoughts or feelings (although she might disagree). Cathy
was also a great confidante and her laugh was contagious.
If one of these or another specific quality stands out when you remember our
dear Cathy, we ask that you adopt that quality into your heart and share
with all of those that you come in contact with; so that a part of our dear
wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend can live on forever
as her legacy to us all. Just imagine what a beautiful gift that would be to
the world.
Cathy also loved to explore, travel, camp, hunt, drive, fish, gamble (casino's/lottery/scratches)
spend time with family and friends for any occasion. She always had a hot
pot of coffee on and an open door to her home. Sometimes even a baked pie
however lots of food and goodies. Many a fond memory was created in her home
and company.
Cathy and Gene were inseparable, " Two hearts that beat as one". There was
nothing that they didn't do together, through good times and bad.
The family would like to thank Dr. Woods, Dr. Proctor, Dr. Savage (Vancouver
Cancer Clinic), the Palliative Care Nurses from C.K. and Nanaimo Hospital
(where Cathy lost her courageous battle to cancer surrounded by her family
and friends).
Cathy's Family and friends had the privilege to share a "Live Celebration of
Life" party in early July. Cathy spoke of this experience often with so much
happiness, love, joy and gratitude (right up to the last days of her life).
She stated that this was the greatest gift she could have ever received.
Thank you again everyone that made that happen for her.
So at Cathy's request there will be no funeral or service. In lieu of
flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of
your choice. In closing here's a small quote from a poem called " A Mother's
Journey". Author unknown; "She's your first love,/your first friend,/even
your first enemy,/ but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not
space....not even death.
You were a legend in your time, and you will be forever loved and deeply
missed.
Until we meet again, your
loving husband, children, family and friends.

untiring work and leadership on many committees, membership in numerous
organizations and support of charitable groups.
The family wishes to thank her friends and caregivers for their many
kindnesses to Mom. We will miss her strength of spirit, courage to face
challenges and love for all. She has left us with important life lessons.
