Our truly Deepest Condolences to the entire Long Family of hearing of Aunt Carol's passing. Such a loving, talented, family oriented soul.
One of several, fond memories of Aunt Carol I have is, how glowing she was when she hosted her party gatherings, of family and friends.To see her around all her loved ones whom she cherished was enlightening.
RIP Aunt Carol

What a powerful and inspiring legacy Carol leaves as wife, mother, relative to many in a vast family, and friend. A remarkable family that have impacted so many of us with goodness, generosity, creativity and community service, especially to those in music from she who so loved and knew it at its core. Carol's life has been a blessing to us. Thank you.

Sincere condolences to Jack and all of the family. Carol was an amazing woman with a beautiful spirit. What fun we had on the Jazz Cruises, especially when she was sitting in with the house bands on the ship! Good memories.

Dear Mr. Long, Steven, Catherine, Jeff and Julie, we are so sorry to hear of your wife and Mom's passing. We (the Barootes) have such fond memories of our childhood together, playing, going to the Red Barn, listening to music (always). I had the special privilege to be a guest at your cottage and remember how gracious your Mom was. She had a huge and infectious smile. She always wanted to know how we all were getting along in school, our joys and ambitions although we were quite young. I know what an esteemed member of the Toronto music scene she was. Getting ready for an evening's performance, she dazzled and enchanted inside and out. How fortunate you were to have been blessed with such a sensitive and caring Mom. We just lost our Dad in September and know how painful this must be. Oh, she will be missed. Our hearts go out to all of you at this sad time.

My deepest sympathies to Julie, Jack and the Long family. I have fond memories of Carol in the 1980s playing with the grandchildren.... where she would sometimes roll on the floor with the kids. Totally engrossed. And recall her playing the piano and singing.....much as all the Longs would break out in ad hoc musical spontaneity. My thoughts are with you all. Andre Craig

Our hearts are with all of you as she travels to the next world. May her journey be swift and May her memory be a blessing.

Best,
