Many times over the last few years Mom shared her sadness with us over Barbara’s illness. She would speak of the many remarkable times and memories she shared with one of her closest and most special life-long friend. The Carey kids will always remember “Mrs. Dundas” for her kindness, her laugh and smile, and the fun she had with Mom in particular. We also have many fond memories of those times that our parents spent socializing and debating. And of course, one cannot forget the deliberations over what to do with the problem child of the week….being that there were 8 in total to choose from! We hope you can find some comfort in some of those great memories and times. With sympathy,
The Carey Family

My deepest sympathy Ted, to you and your family.
Ted: So sorry to hear of the loss of Barbara. She will be greatly missed. I have personally experienced the devestation of Alzheimer’s as my father suffered from it several years ago and I know the hardships it can put on a family. I am sorry I am unable to attend the service on Friday as my daughter is moving that day. I will say a prayer for you and your family and my thoughts will be with you on that day. Take care.
Dear Dr. Dundas, Jennifer, Leslie, Bruce & families

Dear Dr. Dundas,
To you and your family I extend my deepest sympathies on the death of your wife Barbara.
You and yours are in my heart and prayers during this sad time.
I apologize for not attending in person, but had to be in Toronto on Friday.
I’ll miss seeing you to nod hello daily, and of course there is such a void without Barbara’s presence.
Warmest regards,
Sofia Rauth
We were very sorry to hear the news Ted…
Our deepest sympathies….hope all is well with you.
We had been out of town but upon seeing the obituary for Barbara I was very saddened by your loss. My mother [Leona Labbe] sat at the same dinner table as Barbara at Kensington. I recall how Barbara smiled alot despite her physical condition and it was one of my fond memories of that time. I recall you coming in regularly Dr. Dundas to be with your wife and realizing the tremendous hardship it must have been. I did not know Barbara prior to her illness but she must have been a mighty fine woman-I do think she could have been exceptional as a human being [based on what I read and her disposition despite her confinement]. Along with sadness comes the realization that she is no longer imprisoned and has been released from that dreaded disease! May that knowledge and the many memories you will carry for your lifetime comfort you in these days of loss. May the God of all comfort comfort you and your family.
