I worked with Caryn at Todd for the last couple of years. I only work part-time so I didn’t see her that often, but when we did connect it was like talking to an old friend. She was warm and caring and always had a smile on her face. I’m so happy to have known her, she we will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Our deepest condolences to you, Brandon/Julia, Lindsay/Rorie and the rest of your family. We are blessed to have known Caryn - she was a true friend! She was my first friend after moving to Airdrie 18 years ago and she was my best friend. From the coffee visits to our game nights to the phone chats to “check in” - I will cherish those memories forever. Our thoughts are with you during this most difficult time,Tim - Heaven has certainly received an angel. Pete and Tania
Tim and family, I am so very shocked and saddened to hear of Caryn’s passing. She was a pleasure to work with during our time together at Real Resources. She was always eager to learn and I enjoyed being one of her mentors in those early days of her successful Land career. Sean and I will remember her fondly.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family during this very difficult time. Caryn was a ray of sunshine and will be deeply missed by everyone.
So sorry to hear of Caryn’s passing. Please know we are thinking of you and your family. Take care. Randy & Audrey
My deepest condolences to Tim, Lindsay (Rorie & kids), Brandon (Julia), Juno, Bunny, Nora and Siblings (and families). Caryn was one of those rare and special Gems to grace our presence and she will leave a footprint on my (our) heats(s) forever! She once told me life is like a bowl of cherries, with all the sweetness and pits along the way. She loved and cherished every moment in life, especially her family and friends. No matter the situation she was always so positive, with a terrific sense of humor and never complained. A brave hero that was truly loved by everyone that was lucky enough to have known her. May all the wonderful memories comfort the family during this sad and difficult time. May the sun on your face and back be her warm and gentle hugs and kiss on you cheek.
My Deepest Condolences to all the family's. Sorry for your loss.

To Tim and family (both immediate and extended) - I offer you my deepest sympathies on Caryn's passing. I met Caryn in 2005, when she welcomed me into the Real Resource family with open arms the first day I stepped through the door. I knew immediately I had found a kindred spirit. Caryn was courageous, conscientiousness, perseverant, resilient and passionate. In other words, she possessed true grit. I am fortunate to have Caryn traverse through my life. Her love of life, family and animals was noteworthy. I will truly miss her. Big hugs to all of you and God bless!

God Bless!

Thanks Tim for sharing this with us. As I said before Caryn was a lovely special woman that we enjoyed from the minute we met you both. Our time together was way to short but I am thankful we got to meet her. Please stay in touch Tim. Enjoy your memories ......like my dad said ...its the circle of life....
I am so shocked and so very sorry to hear of Caryn’s passing. My deepest condolences to Tim, Lindsay, Rowan, William , Rayce and Brandon. I can only imagine how much Caryn will be missed in your family. Caryn was an integral part of the Legacy land team, she was highly respected and everyone enjoyed working with her. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
I worked with Caryn for several years at both Legacy and Todd. She was a wonderful, kind, caring, supportive and compassionate lady and friend. She always spoke about her family with so much love. Caryn was so kind a supportive and always willing to lend an ear. She will be dearly missed. My most heartfelt Condolences to you all!
Caryn was truly a wonderful person; kind, giving, and selfless. I have been very lucky to have worked with Caryn over the past few years. She was always telling stories about her kids, grandkids, and husband. She was a great friend to her co-workers, always asking about my own family and sharing advice. Caryn will be missed and often thought of.
Ernie and I wish the family all the best. She will be very missed. Unfortunately we have not been able to see much of family since 2015 but do regularly think and talk of everyone. Aunt Nora you have been blessed with four wonderful daughters and their husbands and family. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
