Doug, Mary Lou just heard from Michelle Moffett yesterday about Carol's passing and we want to express to you and your family our deepest sympathy. We were in Boston over Christmas (left on 20th) and didn't see papers for over a week.  Carol was a wonderful person - always cheerful and happy.

I was a neighbor in residence, class of '62 HSC, and after all these years Carol remains one of my favorite people in life. I loved her warm heart, sense of humor and great laugh.  My condolences to her family. Pat Coulman (Msga)

Dear Doug,Laurie and Gord. 

We have not seen Carol for some years but she was definitely a part of our family history and we felt very sad to hear of her passing.  Carol and I spent many evenings in the bowels of the church sorting clothes for the Rummage Sale. In those evenings we also shared talk of our families and lives and I have to say she was the most positive person that I have known. She could make that grim job into a interesting evening.

Carol was Erica's teacher in Kindergarten and Erica loved her. She gave Erica a confidence and encouraged a love of learning.We only wish that Carol could have followed Erica right through High School!!

Our deepest sympathy.  Carole was such a bright, positive and giving person.

Sheena,Erica and Alyson Gordon

Carol is missed in South Carolina.  Carol sure knew how to organize a party and always made us feel SO welcome when we came to visit. She was a very special person!  We're thinking about your family in this sad time.

Doug I was so saddened to hear of your loss, condolences to you and your family.  Carol will be greatly missed by everyone. Carol enjoyed life to the fullest she was always so happy and a pleasure to know.

Dear Mr. Ball, Gord and Laurie-  I was so sad to hear of Mrs.Ball's passing and extend my deepest sympathies. I have so many wonderful memories of her and was always amazed at all that she did; how many people she touched, and all that she accomplished in her lifetime.  I will remember her very fondly. All our love to you all, Margie (Hawryliw) Pickett and Family

I have had the good fortune of working at Owen P.S. with Carol. She was kind and very resourceful, always smiling and so encouraging.
Thank you for your all your good work and my deepest condolences to the family.

Dear Doug
Gerry and I were so sad to hear of Carols passing. Of course, my paths with Carol go way back to our high school days in KW. Many fun memories of times we shared. 
Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Dear Doug, Lauri and Gordie,
 
 Kristin, David and I were, and continue to be, so very saddened by the loss of Carol..... a loving and dear Wife, Mother and Friend!  The world will not be the same place without Carol and her giving, caring and warrm natured personality!  She did so much for so many!  
 Our history was a long one starting from the wonderful Ridley days, where and when, I called Carol from the hospital, on the birth of Kristin, to let her know that we had a little girl with whom Laurie could play....Till then there were just little Ridley boys.  It was so special to share this with her!  She was her usaul receptive, warm and excited self!
 Many wonderful warm, sunny days were also spent with Carol up at Kimberly Point!  Her ready smile and giving nature were always there waiting, along with her incredible egg salad on Don's scones, a traditional must!!  
 Our warmest love and condolencses to the 3 of you, and to all her Family, are, and will continue to be, in our hearts and prayers!

With fondest love, 
Wendy, Kristin and David Rossiter

Doug, Laurie and Gord, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.  I remember all the wonderful stories my father Mike Walker told me about the great summers he spent with Carol at Kimberley Point.  Like Carol, the cottage was his favourite place to be.  My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
Wendy Wilkins (née Walker)

Doug, Laurie and Gord - We are so sad to learn of Carol's passing.  She and your family are all missed in the "old" Ridley Blvd. neighbourhood.  Even more now knowing we won't meet up with her at the local shops or on the sidewalks.  Carol was a wonderful community spirit and certainly led many of us to play a role as we were able.  From our family to yours, we send our sincere condolences and we will keep Carol's memory dear to us.  Love and Best wishes, Jan and Will Hawryliw (North Toronto)

Carol and I met playing tennis over ten years ago and I immediately felt like I had known her forever.  We played with the same lovely group of ladies, two or three times a week for years and enjoyed many rounds of golf. When we were with Carol we always laughed and enjoyed ourselves, as Carol was one of those people who always spoke of the positive and encouraged everyone around her to do the same. She will be missed so much. We were lucky ladies to have known her. Our heartfelt condolences to Doug and family. Love Julia And Gary

Our family knew Carol only through our summers at Kimberley Point; she was always welcoming and interested in our activities. She appreciated and recognized everyone's contribution to Kimberley, and by her own example, set the highest standard of participation. Carol was friendly, engaging and present. She cared. 
We will remember fondly one epic summer afternoon with Carol and friends on our Moon River dock, tasting and discussing the merits of several Chardonnay wines from around the world. 
Doug, Laurie, and Gord, Sally and Marg, and your families,  please know that Carol made our lives better and happier.

Hi Doug,
Dan and I were saddened to hear of your loss. I have wonderful memories of Carol at St. John's and at Owen where she spent time working with our younger son. Sincere sympathy to you and the entire family. Love.

I am saddened to learn from this morning's Globe, Doug, of the passing of Carol.  Heartfelt condolences to you and to your family.  I remember Carol as a very happy, upbeat person.  The few times I met her, she always had a big smile on her face.  My wife Janet and my thoughts are with you and your children at this difficult time.

Ross Nisbet (Oshawa)

Good morning Doug
I was saddened this week to learn of Carol's death. I remember meeting her for the first time shortly after the two of you became our neighbours on Ridley Boulevard in 1977. She was a lovely person. Please accept my sincere condolences. God bless.

I was the curate at St. John's York Mills in the late 80's and have good memories of Carol. I was quite fond of Laurie and was over at the Ball's house more than a couple of times. My condolences to Doug, Laurie, and other family members.  Phelan+

Carol was a beautiful person, inside and out.  It was a joy to know her, play tennis with her, laugh with her. Doug, may you and your family have only joyous memories of Carol to cherish forever.
Love, Mary & Harvey Tator

Dear Doug,
Carol had an aura of generosity and beauty which just surrounded her and everyone who was lucky enough to know her.  Her smile lit up any room she was in.  She will be missed profoundly.  Our deepest sympathies to you and your family as you cope with such a tremendous loss.
Kathi & Lorne Levy
