I want to express my condolences. Shirley informed me of Carol's passing. I have good memories of our years in Winkler high school. I think I met Carol at Shirley's father funeral. We agreed a reunion was needed. We will have one but not here, but in eternity. - Posted by: Norman Hildebrand (High school class mates) on: Dec 06, 2019

I was so sorry to hear of Carolyn's passing. My sincerest condolences to Dennis and the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss. I remember fondly Phil practices with Carolyn, both working hard, yet lots of time for laughter as well! She made it very enjoyable. She was always willing to help me with my German pronunciation as well! She will be missed. - Posted by: Janette Dewit (Friend) on: Dec 02, 2019

Unfortunately was not able to attend the funeral service but wanted to send my condolences and prayers for your family..Judge 18:6 it says ”The journey on which you go is under the eye of the Lord” That verse has always given me great comfort and I hope it will to you as well. You are now on a new journey D and although it will be difficult and very different you can remember that you are under God’s watchful eye. I will remember you in my prayers. - Posted by: Wilma Reynolds (Relative) on: Nov 30, 2019
