I am totally at a loss for words to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a wonderful person who had a deep love for her family. She could make you laugh with her hearty chuckle and nothing would get her down. When we lived across the street from her despite being so busy with all her children, she and Bernie would always make time for others. I don't believe we have ever met anyone else that always showed such warmth and concern as Carmel. You were truly blessed that God made her your mother. I am so sorry we did not see each other since moving away. My heart goes out to all of you. I hope the wonderful memories she left will make her passing a little easier as time goes on. She will never be forgotten. Sue & Mick Cullain

Dear Lorraine, Lisa, Michael, Sheila and Families,
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your Mom and Nanny. My deepest sympathy to you and the children. I was truly moved by the beautiful celebration of her life which showed your incredible love for her.
Carmel inspired me with her faith, strength and courage, and the beautiful memories I have of her are my keepsake. I will sincerely miss her.
Take the time to heal and cherish all the lovely memories you have of this very special angel. May you find the courage to face tomorrow in the love that surrounds you today.
"Softly the leaves of memory fall,
Gently we gather and treasure them all".
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless,
Love Nancy

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. Sorry we can't be there for the funeral as we are with family in Calgary but we will be with you in spirit. It was nice to meet up with your Mom again in recent years after not seeing each other since high school graduation. It is never easy to lose a loved one but now your Mom and Dad are together again and you and the family have two guardian angels watching over you. Love and Peace.

To the O'Reilly family. Please accept my expression of sympathy on the loss of your very special mother. I have known Carmel for a long time and know what a caring mother she was. When I started to work at lloyd's I was quite pleased to find out that Carmel and Lorraine worked there and felt a special closeness as some of our children had gone through school together. We would often share memories of things past and present. The next little while will be quite difficult for all of you. God bless your entire family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am presently not in Montreal or I would be with you this morning.
My sincere sympathy

God gave us each the gift of love
To cherish from our birth,
He gave us FRIENDS and those we love
To share our days on earth,
He watches us with loving care
And takes us by the hand,
He blesses us with countless joys
And guides the lives we've planned,
Then when our work on earth is done
He calls us to His side
To live with Him in happiness
Where peace and love abide:

We look at an old photograph
and see your smile.
As we feel your presence anew,
We are filled with warmth
and our hearts remember love.
We read an old card
sent many years ago
during a time of holidays or birthdays.
The beautiful words written then
still caress our spirits
and bring us peace.
We remember who you used to be
the laughter we shared
and wonder what you have become.
Where are you now,
Where did you go,
When the body is left behind
and the spirit is released to fly?
Perhaps you are the morning bird
singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances
so carelessly on the breeze
or the rainbow of colors
that brightens a stormy sky
or the fingers of afternoon mist
delicately reaching over the mountains
or the final few rays of the setting sun
lighting up the skies
edging the clouds with a magical glow.
We miss your being
but we feel your presence.
Having lost my own Mother in the same way I understand all the emotions the family is going through. It's not today that will be the hardest, nor tomorrow, but in the months and years ahead. I ask that everyone stay in touch with Carmel's family often over the next year. Be there for them not just now, but also in the future.

We did not have the privelege of knowing Mrs. O'Reilly personally, but through Mike & Sophie we've learned of what a special lady she was and how proud she was of her family and the famous "6-pack" - the pictures are a wonderful testimonial to that.
May the closeness & support of your loved-ones bring you some degree of comfort during this difficult time.

It's with a heavy heart that heard of the passing of your lovely mother, my friend and co-worker. I saw her as an insparation, a heroe, always so positive and always so kind. She had a heart of gold. A smile that lights up a room. Always hard working. I had the privilege to see her as the Loving & caring Mother that she was. She would always be there for our lovely Lorraine(Hello sunshine!) She'd always be running around on some urgent work. She will be sorely missed by all I'm sure. Rest In Peace My Dear Carmel, May God and the angels be at your side along your new journey. My thoughts and prayers goes out to those closest to her. Know that she is in a better place. She is like a butterfly, her soul is free to fly, no longer burden by sickness. Love And Hugs to all. God Bless.

Dear Lorraine & Family,
You must be experiencing so many different emotions right now, from the pain of losing someone you loved so deeply to the comfort that comes in knowing that your loved one is no longer suffering.
And even though words can't take away the sorrow that you're feeling, I hope that you find serenity in knowing that your care, love, and courage, have meant so much to the one you loved……and that somehow, in some small way, that makes a difference and brings you peace.
My Deepest Sympathy
