Carolyn set a beautiful example of strength and courage for all of us who knew her. She mentored many through her counseling and also through steadfast friendship. Carolyn encouraged me many times over the last 25 years. She gave me sound advice during my years of raising a family. We prayed for our families together with a small friend group over several years. Carolyn loved people with complete sincerity. I´ll see her again someday, when we are present with the Lord Jesus in heaven! Sending deepest condolences to Blair, Walter, Susan, Morgan and Tricia, and the whole family.

We old-timers of Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church will always be grateful to Carolyn for the generous hospitality she showed to our group of explorers and The Rev. Brian Campbell over several months 20 years ago. By the end of the summer we made the commitment to found our church, now thriving with many young people and children.
Carolyn was an exemplary Christian woman. It was an honor to know her.
