Barb & Mike this has been a really tough couple of weeks for you and our heart goes out to you and your family. Please pass my condolences on to Ian and his children, David and his family, and Norma.
Mike and Barb we're thinking of you and praying for you at this time. I'm so sorry you guys are hurting but I know Carol, your beloved sister and best friend, is in a wonderful place right now and is totally at peace and no longer having to fight that awful cancer that has affected so many we love. Our thoughts are with you and your entire family.
Ian, truly heart stricken reading about Carol's passing recently. Our heartfelt sympathies and prayers to you and your family. I will be contacting Blair, I don't know if he has your number but will advise him of Westview's site. Susan
This has been such a difficult time we are so very sorry for your loss may joy filled memories soon overshadow the sadness.
Liz, I am so sorry to hear of your mum's passing. I saw her only a few months ago, and she was the same non-judgmental, caring individual that I remember when she and I were teens at Oakridge. I saw her again only a few months ago, and she was the same. It was uplifting to see her. I saw these things reflected in you, when you showed up in my Writer's Craft class several years ago. You are your mother's daughter, and her legacy lives on in you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Our condolences and hugs to the Slade & Skinner families. Our memories of Carol always include her smile and laughter but most of all they include seeing her strength, courage and determination. Her friendship is a gift we will always treasure and of course to all of us she is family!
Dear Skinner family, I was very sad to hear of Carol's passing. We always admired her as a teacher and were very pleased to have Nadia in her grade 3 class so many years ago. My family and I made a point of visiting her in her new classroom after the Clara Brenton renovations. She was genuinely happy to see us and we to see her. She was always cheerful and friendly and we will carry our warm memories of her for years to come. My heart goes out to you all in this difficult time. -- From the Tirolese family--
