We had the pleasure of meeting Carol at an art showing in Toronto years ago.  ln fact we met the entire family and we were blessed to do so....all charming and unique!!
Years later Carol and l started playing scrabble on line.  lt wasn't just scrabble....we played a game within a game.  Every word we played we used in the comment section to start a story.  
Carol your creativity knows no bounds.....soar!!


Carol Anne was always a girly-girl to me. I remember meeting for the first time in Toronto at Linda's linsmore studios/house. She told me that she liked my playing of the viola de games  sonatas with L.M.S her bossy but loving sister who had as much talents to be a dilettante as Carol does, but Carol showed me affection by knitting  a scarf, a navy/royal blue wool I'd  wear with my blazers and jeans. Carol's attention to detail was immaculate in it's execution, whether it be telling a story, in her paintings, or a hat of which L.M.S. sported many during the cold winters in Ontario, colorful and bright beautifully woven colors embraced each other, like she did with all of her friendships, interwoven and chosen with all intent being a gifted artist,with determination  she fought to create regardless of limitations or disability. Her energies knew no bounds. I knew  she was fond of me when Linda told me I was  in a painting and that it had been bought. Carol Anne  had met me when my hair was long, almost to my waist. She was never shy, almost coy like she was searching for a soul-mate. I believed that we were mirrors of each other, our personalities meshed when we spoke of ideas and thoughts, poetry spoken out loud and found ourselves inflated with pride at the thought of how clever we were being! I had  finally found someone who was unique and slightly quirky  with her Romantic aura or Classical demeanor. She made me feel special and attractive and that was enough to want to bond with her, talents for making creating designing and story-telling will be left with all she has left behind...not only in our memories, but also in our hearts. I missed you as soon as I realized you were gone.

My condolances to Carols family and friends..

Carol, please give my best to all the family you run into - and keep them all smiling with your fun, quirky sense of humour.  Hugs,  Janie

Carol, was such a beautiful and loving person.  My memories are of smiles and laughter. She truly brought joy to the world through her life and remarkable art. I was blessed to call her my friend, and she will be truly missed and remembered with love.

A truly beautiful soul. Carol will be missed by many. 💜

My first memory of Carol Anne (and Linda) was at Lebanese Christmas parties in the late 60’s. Her smile was infectious, her talent immeasurable, and her memory will forever be indelibly stamped in my heart ♥️
