I was Carolyn's gardener and landscaper when she lived in Barrie. She was easily one of the most unique individuals I have ever encountered. Carolyn was very intelligent, always quizzing me or my workers and chastising us about work, or life. I quite liked her. I wanted to track her down when she left Barrie but life always kinda got in the way of finding time. It's a poor excuse. I'm sad I never got to see her again but happy she's finally with Don (whom she spoke of often).

My condolences to cousin Don and family. I will always look back with gratitude at all the wonderful conversations I had with Aunt Carolyn over the years. And I will never forget that she was there for me during some very difficult times offering a word of comfort and wise advice. She was my aunt and a friend. May her memory be a blessing.
