Condolence From: Darlene Stecko
Condolence: Dear Jenny and Daniel, Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your dear mother Carolyn. Although we didn't work in the same school, we met at various educational events and it was a pleasure to talk, laugh, and chat about work and life in general. She was a true professional, a wonderful mentor, and a great colleague who was willing to share ideas and resources at a moment's notice. I will truly miss her smile, enthusiasm, and most of all her friendship. May God give her eternal peace.

Condolence: I am a parent of students past and present of St Martin Secondary. My oldest in particular had the good luck to have Carolyn Arnold as his teacher for several classes and heading up DECA in the first year that the school had a team, and both my boys had her as their badminton coach. She was such a wonderful teacher and coach, who obviously chose her teaching career for all of the right reasons. She was so positive and encouraging to her students. She went above and beyond to help them achieve their goals. I was very grateful for her interest in my kids’ success. I am so very saddened to hear of her passing and hope that her family knows that she left a very positive impression on many people’s lives and she will not be forgotten.

Condolence: I am heartbroken at the passing of my dear friend, Carolyn. She was someone I truly looked up to -- brilliant, caring, kind and so very wise. We shared much laughter over the two decades we'd known each other. I'll miss her sage advice, her wise-cracking wit, her charm. She'll never be forgotten. My condolences to Daniel, Jenny, Matt, Fran, Kathy, Lisa and all the people who loved her. xx Frances

Condolence: My sincere condolences to Carolyn’s family and friends. Carolyn and I went to high school together, and though I had not seen her since then, it does not make her passing any less sad. I treasure the comment she wrote in my yearbook, and am pleased that she went on to an important life well lived. I’m sorry for your loss.

Condolence: My sincere condolences to Carolyn's family, her children, Daniel and Jenny, her sisters and their families. Carolyn was a wonderful person who will be missed by everyone who knew her. She was a model teacher and a gracious and kind person. I always enjoyed going into her well-organized classes to give lessons on how do cite properly and where to find resources for research. It was obvious that Carolyn's students had a great respect for her. St. Martin has lost one of its best teachers. May you rest in peace Carolyn and know that you will be greatly missed, and that you were well loved and appreciated.

Condolence: Dear Daniel, Jenny, Mr. & Mrs. Hrabluk and Family: As I began to read the obituary section in the Saturday Toronto Star a few moments ago, I was truly taken aback and left disheartened to see a photo of Carolyn with her soulful smile ... She and Jim, along with young Daniel and Jenny were our neighbours in Mississauga. Please accept both my Mom's and my sincere sympathy on her passing. I know if my Dad was alive, he would have been saddened to hear this news as well for he was fond of Carolyn and Jim. A thousand angels dance around her ... May Carolyn's soul rest in everlasting peace ...

Condolence: My deepest condolences to Carolyn's children, Jenny and Daniel; her pride and joy, and to her parents, sisters with their families, and to her relatives. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find some comfort in knowing that so many of us loved and respected Carolyn. She was incredibly dedicated teacher, and such an inspiration to our students, and to all of us teachers, in so many ways. She always found time to offer extra help to our students, or to get involved in extra-curricular activities, or tasks at the Board level, or Provincially.You could always count on Carolyn's helpful hand. Carolyn was a true professional with respect for everyone. She was a very graceful lady, trustworthy, and a dignified soul. I was lucky to call her my friend. I will always cherish the good times we shared, remember the fruitful tasks we were involved in, or our uplifting conversations spiced with laughter. Darling, Carolyn, I loved how you were full of life. I will greatly miss you! May you rest in peace, which you so profoundly deserve.

Condolence: Ms. Arnold had easily been one of the teachers that had greatly impacted my life in high-school. She was the type of teacher that genuinely cared for your well-being and was constantly rooting for your success in and out of class. She had provided us not only her knowledge when it came to business but as well as wisdom in life. And to that, we will always be grateful for her. Ms. Arnold will truly be missed by many. Sending out my deepest condolences to her closest beloved family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are all with you.

Condolence: Carolyn and I started teaching at St. Martins at the same time over a decade ago, and since then have formed a friendship and bond that is irreplaceable. She was also the godmother to my younger daughter, and was so incredibly loving to both of my girls. She had a heart that cared for others deeply, a way of looking into someone’s eyes and knowing exactly what they were going through, and had a sense of humour that could make you laugh until you cried. Quite simply, she was a shining light in my life every single day. I loved hearing the many stories at work of her family, whom she loved so dearly, and know that she leaves with you many wonderful memories of so many great times together. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you reflect on her full and vibrant life, and eventually learn to move forward without her. We will all miss her beautiful soul but can take peace in knowing that she is always looking down on us with her warm, comforting smile. Sending all my love to your very special family.

Condolence: I had the absolute honour of having Ms. Arnold as my teacher during my time at St. Martins. It’s been three years since I’ve graduated but she has remained such an important party of high school for me and has given me a love of business that I hold to this day. There was no one like her and I am so grateful that I had the privilege of knowing her. She has touched the lives of so many students and her legacy will never be forgotten. Thanks for everything Ms. Arnold.

Condolence: As a grade 9 student, I was incredibly nervous for high school. I didn’t know what to expect. Luckily Ms. Arnold would be my first high school teacher who would go on to be the best teacher I’ve had at St. Martins. I feel very fortunate to have been able to be her student and to have her inspire me to pursue my true passions. My condolences go out to her family.

Condolence: I didn’t know her very well, and I never had her class, but whenever I saw her in the halls at school she would smile at me, and sometimes it was the only one I saw that day. It helped me get through my day, and always made me happier. Rest In Peace Mrs. Arnold. Your smile will be missed every day.

Condolence From: Julianna Lucknow
Condolence: I am so sorry for your lost. Ms. Arnold was a wonderful person through and through. Although many may believe that she was just a teacher, she is way more. She was the first person at St. Martins to push me pass my limits and tell me that I was capable of doing so much more. She inspired me to do more. She taught me that anything is possible and that it’s never too late. She was a mentor, teacher, friend and most importantly an inspiration. And I want to thank you and her for that.

Condolence From: Michael and Claudia Ferro
Condolence: Claudia and I have had the pleasure of knowing Carolyn over the past 4 years that we’ve worked at St. Martin. She was an absolute joy to have as a colleague. One of the most delightful people we have ever met. We are so saddened to hear this earful news and send our prayers and love to her family in this difficult time. I have never met a student that had a bad word to say about her. In fact the opposite was true. The mere mention of Mrs Arnold’s name would widen a students eyes and you could see the love they all had for her. She will be deeply missed.
