Remembering Mary Carol today. The kid sis of Angel, when we were teens. Mary was pretty and spunky with a great smile. The future was so wide and bright then. Remembering those teen days. RIP sweet lady.

Michele Miles called me yesterday after attending Mass at St. John's, where she heard the announcement.
The world has lost a beautiful person but it is good that Mary is now free of all the suffering. If I had known when the funeral was at MacTier, I would have attended as we are here in Muskoka for the summer. Much love and prayer, jj Alexander (nee Allen) --great friend of Janet & Julie

My sincere regrets for the loss of Mary Carol. I am a close friend of her sister Angela. I went to High School with M.C., my cousin was a close friend of hers. I was lucky to see M.C. a few years ago at the cottage when we had a small reunion. M.C. was always the most pleasant and cheerful of people. She was lovely.
