Chris, and family,
I was just looking to see how the season was going for this year as an all time fan of the Wilkins family volleyball experience and was stopped in my tracks by learning of this loss. My heart breaks for you all in this time. This must be a difficult season without the biggest fan there giving support. The greatest of all time player on the team and one of the most amazing athletes and people I have been lucky enough to get to know over my athletics career. I will always remember my time with the Humber family and will never forget the love in your eyes at your wedding. Soul mates to say the least. I wish you love and condolences. If live were enough she would be here forever.
Ms Simoneschi says
Dear Mr Wilkins, Tayah, and dearest Tristyn,
So many times I’ve written and erased, not ever knowing the right words to say. Although they may never be the right words, know that they are from the heart. I am deeply sorry for all the pain you have gone through. As we pray for the departed today, know that Caroline is honoured, as she should be, in our prayers.

Dear Ursula, John, Mark, Chris, Tayah & Tristyn,
I can offer no words today that will take your pain away. I’m heartbroken myself that Caroline’s journey on earth was cut short so abruptly. Take comfort in your memories of the wonderful woman she was. I feel grateful that I got to see her grow from a teenager to a beautiful woman on the inside and out. I loved to watch her play volleyball when I had the chance. I remember watching her in a tournament at Humber College and was so amazed at her volleyball skills. She loved life and the people in her world. I could see that. Sending hugs and prayers to all of you. May you all find peace and keep your memories of Caroline alive in your world. xxx

How empty we feel when we have to say goodbye to someone who filled our hearts and days with joy and love. I am deeply saddened to have heard the news. Her mother, Ursula, was the other Mrs Fletcher at Courtice High or perhaps I was :-). Regardless we shared many laughs and stories. It is heart breaking and I am sending love, peace, and strength to all of Caroline’s family (furry ones included) that time will turn tears to memories of only the very best moments you did have the good fortune to share. May god’s grace surround you this day and always.

Please know we are thinking of you all during this difficult time.
I have so many fond memories of C-line. My setter, always making me look good on the court! Our apartment #720- wow, did we ever have some good times there with Michie and Laura!
She was an all star on/off the court. The quarterback to the volleyball program, and a dear friend to many. I’m in utter disbelief writing this and admitting that she is gone. But I will cherish our stories, laughs, road trips and memories forever.
Until we meet again Fletch.
Love you guys

My big cousin Caroline (Square),
I will miss you so much. It seems so unreal that you have gone, taken so quickly and far too soon.
My memories of you whenever you guys came over to Worcester (UK) are so so happy and even though you mainly hung out with the other ‘square’ you always had time with us circles and the little triangle.
Then, when I visited in 2005 with my friend Polly, you and Chris were so kind to look after us and take us out to Hooters!!! What a night! The fact I can’t remember much from that night says a lot! Although I do remember, and always will, the kindness and love both you and Chris showed us. Thank you.
Can’t believe I never get to call u square again. Miss you
Love always, Katy (circle) xxx
