I was deeply saddened to learn of Carol's passing. I had the pleasure of working with her during her time at MOHLTC. The Board of ONTMOA and I had a high level of respect for Carol. She was a woman we all respected for her integrity and intelligence--truly a class act.
I would be grateful to receive a message about the details of the impending 'celebration of life'[email protected]
My deepest and heartfelt condolences to Carol's family.

In my many years of teaching French, I met few people as keen as Carol. With her warm and outgoing personality,she started "le Cercle"an informal group which met for years speaking French.Many memorable evenings were spent in her beautiful garden. I will remember our spirited conversations,her many interests,her love of all the nice things in life and I will miss her a lot.

I was born one week before Carol, and she was my best friend until my family moved to another state when I was 13. Whenever a computer security question is Who was your best friend in childhood? I always select it and say Carol. Although in the past few years I only saw Carol about once a year with a group of other childhood friends, we would regularly email each other. I wish I had more friends as interesting and special as Carol! I will miss her for the rest of my life.

I knew Carol as a devoted member of our French class for many years at Alliance Francaise . The class began at 9 a.m. on Saturday mornings and Carol usually arrived after working at Out of the Cold which meant she was getting up about 5 a.m., volunteering for several hours, then participating in a French class till 12 p.m. She often invited the French group to her home where we would practice our conversation over a glass of wine and many laughs. We will miss her.

I had the pleasure of working with Carol and singing many great concerts with her in the Toronto Classical Singers. She was always fun to be around and had a great sense of humour.
