Carola's Juh-san Kaiki - Memories |
|
"She was a very special woman, and I enjoyed her perspective on things. She was very no-nonsense. We met in French class at the office. I was quite a bit junior to her, both in rank and age, but we got along very well and I was very sad when she told me that her cancer would not go away with the treatments she received." L. Calloway, Ottawa * * * "Carol taught me many things, mainly through her example. She demonstrated practical intellectualism and the ability to think critically--anytime, anywhere. She was also very tolerant; her personal and cultural history had given her this. Her beautifully tended garden on Second Street remains a metaphor for life in my mind. Her wisdom, subtle courage and social compassion continue to teach me how to be brave, and truthful with myself, and those I love, as a mother, daughter, sister and friend. Carol, you are still here; you live in brightly coloured scarves and small tended gardens. You inspire livelihoods and the seeking of knowledge in friends and family." R. Rogerson, Orillia * * * I am so glad to hear that you are celebrating Carola's 13th anniversary. In our Indian custom, there is a period of mourning for a period of 13 days (what a co-incidence!), after a person passses away. A. Liladhar, Mississauga ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This section is for photos and other memories of my Mother.
