My wife Lois & I became neighbours & good friends with Carolyn & Reg almost five years ago when we moved to Milton from Ottawa. Carolyn was a kind and generous woman who loved nature and animals. She used to send me links of bald eagles nesting “live” on the Internet that she was following. I was always welcome with a warm & cheerful smile along with a cup of tea whenever I stopped in to chat & talk baseball with Reg. She was a proud and brave woman who fought valiantly and courageously against her illness. I will always remember Carolyn for all of these qualities that were an example to me and many others. Reg, please accept my deepest condolences of behalf of Lois & I. We are very saddened by your loss. -Lois Sheen & Bob Gosselin
