We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I just lost my father in September due to cancer and we know it is a difficult time. Cherish the fond memories and remember her with a smile. Our deepest sympathy to Holly (Mike) Adam(Nikki) and your families.
So sorry to hear of your loss Carol called me when she got her diagnosis and she was at peace with it and very brave. She was so loving to my daughter Layla and never missed giving her a gift at Christmas or on her birthday. Living just up the street on D'arcy i can't count how many times i had to go get Layla because she had stopped at Carols on her way home from Gummow. There she was helping in the greenhouse or feeding the squirrels with Carol. A great lady Layla and i will really miss her. R.I.P.

Dear Holly and Adam, I’m so sorry to hear that your Mom has died. As children, Carolyn and I spent a lot of time together as our mothers were best friends.

Dear Adam, Holly & Families, My thoughts & prayers are with you at this sad time, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a very talented floral artist, way back in 1972 Carolyn did my wedding bouquets, her work was absolutely beautiful. I have very fond memories of chats she and I had over the years. Rest In Peace Carolyn.
Holly and Adam; My sincere condolences to you and your families at this time. Your mom was an amazing person and I know she will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.
Adam, Holly and families; I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. She helped me with many floral arrangements over the years. I used to see your Mom out gardening and I would chat with her at times and she always had a big smile happy out in nature caring for her plants. A beautiful lady.
Dear Adam and Holly: I am sorry sorry to hear of your Mom's death. I have known Carolyn for more than 50 years. Your Grandfather Allan looked after the flowers for my Grandfather Redmond's funeral flowers in 1965, flowers all grown in your grandfather's green house! Your Mom worked for her Dad at that time, she was a very kind and loving person, and was always very kind to me. Everyone will miss her wonderful floral design's. With my Sympathy, Steve Redmond Belleville, Ontario
Holly and Adam, I want you to know that Jeanette and I are thinking of you at this sad time. I have known your Mom for many years - from Gummow days as a parent to a neighbour from down James Street and at the flower shops. I always enjoyed our friendly chats together and her regular updates on my former student. We will miss your Mom. Sincerely, Wayne McCurdy
Our sincerest condolences to your families. Carol worked with our son at Party Lines and they became good friends. I remember visiting her with my son at her home, and how proud she was of her greenhouse and all of her plants. She was a wonderful and very talented lady.
Carolyn was always most pleasant when we met. I remember her from the florist shop, Woods' and then from the other shops in which she worked. We were fortunate to have her among us as we did. I'm sad to see this announcement and offer you my sincere condolences.
