Carol was such a great lady. Enjoyed seeing her at the cathedral a year or so ago. Condolences Jennifer and all who mourn.
Carol served as a member of my learning support group when I was a student at the catherdral. She helped to guide me through some of the challenging situations that happened while I was there. Her kindness, support, and wise insights have always stayed with me. May she rest in peace.
Carol and I go back to Trinity Church in MOntreal and I later served as a Warden with her at St. Paul’s Cathedral. We kept in touch and I am sorry for her loss. Best wishes to MIchael.
Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Carol directly, I heard about her life and how she lived through my dear friendship with her daughter Jennifer….she was a wonderful Mom and I am confident that her strength and spirit will live on especially through her children. May all who grieve her loss, feel moments of comfort amidst all that is occurring. You are in my prayers for the days ahead…
I am so sorry to hear about Carol’s passing. She was a wonderful woman and she will be forever missed. She is reunited with her beloved Ian who was a marvellous man. Big hugs and lots of love to The Grant family.
Hi Jen, I’m sorry to hear about your mother’s passing and wish you and Brian well in the time ahead. I hope to see you soon once you’re able to.
Dear Jennifer and Jamie, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. I know my Dad cherished his friendship with both your parents. I am sure they are together now having a martini in heaven laughing about their trip to Tanglewood together. Sending you lots of love.
Jamie, Sue & Family,
Our Sincere Condolences.
Your Mom was a beautiful person.
Thinking about you at this sad time.

My sympathy, Jennifer, to you and all of your family. Your Mom was a blessing to me as Chaplain during my pre-ordination years. She welcomed me into her home where we talked openly over a delicious meal. What a great way to help someone relax and trust the process! Her honesty, candid conversation, and great sense of humour made all the difference in the world to me. Prayers for you and your family these days.
Jennifer, Jamie, and family, sending you my sincerest condolences on the loss of your dear mom. She was truly a beautiful person. Sending hugs and love to you all.
Dear Jennifer and Jamie,
We’re sending our heartfelt condolences on learning about your Mother’s passing. Carol was a warm and kind person with a lovely sense of humor. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Michael and Annele Robertson and family
Jennifer and Jamie and families, we met as very young teens as your family arrived in London from the West and connected many times in those early years. Most recently, and by that I mean over the most recent 30 years, I continued to see your Mom in various ways connected to church life. I appreciated our shared experience as clergy family members and particularly appreciated her wisdom, patience, straight talk (sometimes just through a facial expression!) and her wonderful sense of humour. May she rest in peace and may you find comfort in your loss. Andra (Townshend) O’Neill
