We will always cherish our friendship with Carmel. We'll miss her calm & gentle way and her (sometimes outrageous) sense of humour. Linda Goggin & Dave Fulton, Sussex, N.B.

Carmel was always welcoming in her home. Many Blessings to the Young family.

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born"....this quote by Anais Nin came to mind in remembering Carmel.....many sweet memories from many years gone by. I only wish we'd met up again in more recent time. Love to you Carmel .......Joy

After many years had passed, I had the unexpected pleasure of meeting Carmel again last year when she was back to Sussex. The calm soft voice and the smile had never changed. It was a privilage to have known and worked with her. My condolences to the family. Nancy Gillies

My thoughts and prayers go with you and Adam and Erin. May your journey continue happily. Ron

Carmel and I worked for a short time in the ER together. She was so quiet and soft spoken. Katie and Jill were close friends years ago here in Sussex. She will be sadly missed, her friend, Londa Burchell

An unlikely pair...she and I...she a California liberal hippy ... me a northern Maine conservative...aligned as we each had cross border shopper husbands :) Sussex is where we met and grew together in many ways...we were true kindred spirits and family for each other...we lived,worked and traveled together and the void we feel will remain as she was a big part of our lives...we have a lot of wonderful memories of the time we were blest to have and share with Carmel.

Dearest Carmel: You were always there to help me in ER always calm and cool and very friendly and helpful. It was awesome to have you so close to me in Nova Scotia ..New Brunswick is so close to Nova Scotia. I will forever regret that we did not spend more leisure time together. ..Life is so short and friends are so valuable... But I will also celebrate our time together and the gift of knowing you and the privedge of being your friend.

I always knew summer was close when Carmel's name showed up on the schedule at at Sussex Health Centre. I didn't often get called to help out in the ER. when she was on as there was little that got her too excited. Carmel came and worked some night shifts on the floor where I worked last summer and it was nice to get to know her a little better. I know food and Jane and Keith and nursing were the big topics most nights. Please know that Carmel's contribution to SHC was surely valued and will be missed by myself and many of us. Her name certainly has come up often since she passed.

Carmel was the oldest of "The cousins" although we did't see each other much. she was Loved very much. I love you Carmel... Love Yvette Tiapon-Laine

Carmel was pregnant at the same time I was. I remember thinking while we were waddling around the Sussex Health Centre..."Wow, her belly is as big as mine!" Her kind and gentle manner will be sorely missed. Anne Healy-Swift,R.N. Sussex,N.B.

I have such fond memories of working with Carmel...her passion towards nursing, people & co-workers taught me what it was to be a Real Nurse (RN). I can't EVER remember seeing her excited or frantic...no matter what the situation or emergency. Her calming, practical approach often calmed even the greenest of people in the room. One always knew that the best that could be done for the patient & family would be done. Carmel taught me so much about why it was so very special to be a nurse. I know that I will miss her greatly, and the medical world has lost a truly special professional! God's deepest blessings to the family & to all who were blessed to know Carmel & call her friend !

Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet white doves in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die. Mary Elizabeth Frye
