How sad, but not unexpected, I was to hear of the passing of my friend Carol. We had been friends for 50+years starting with working weekends, Easter and Christmas breaks at Eaton's during our high school days. The friendship continued during marriage, births and life's ups and downs. One could not have asked for a better friend than Carol for her kindness, helpfulness, honesty, reliability and compassionate nature. My heart goes out to George, Barbara, Karen, Austin and Brandon, Doug & family. She will not be forgotten. Judy, Vancouver, BC - Posted by: Judy (Watson) Battley (Friend) on: Sep 16, 2016

To my other family: In life, one makes many acquaintances but very few "real friends". I was one of the blessed people to have Carol Anne as my closest, dearest, best and real friend for 70 years. Even though we lived apart, we never grew apart. We shared happy times, sad times, complaining times, celebratory times and just in general never tired of each other's company or friendship. I will miss you terribly my dear friend but will continue to have you in my life through your family who will hopefully fill in for you and whom I truly love. I know you will be watching us all from above. I love you and wish strength to all your family. Perky - Phoenix AZ - Posted by: Perky Sinclair Linder (Close friend ) on: Sep 10, 2016

Mom was a very special person. She had made so many good friends over the years, the crew from Eatons, Ian and Evelyn, Audrey and Lloyd and of course her life long friend Perky Sinclair. Mom will always been remembered in my heart. I will really miss the lunch and dinner time phone calls. You are now up in heaven with 2 wonderful people, her mom and dad. Love and Miss you mom. - Posted by: Karen Potter (Daughter) on: Sep 10, 2016
