I received the following note from Jim this morning, and am publishing it here as I know many people have had her in their thoughts since word broke about her illness.
"It is with our deepest sorrow and regret that we inform you of Carleen's passing tonight. She fought a courageous battle against Cancer to the very end. We will miss her dearly.
Arrangements will be decided shortly. We know your thoughts and prayers are with us."
Carleen was a great supporter of wheelchair curling and made an appearance in this short documentary.

A fine lady with a tremendous family. She will be missed
This is a very special family. I have had the pleasure of knowing them, although not as close as I woukld like, for over 15 years.
Their parties at their home were legend.......sometimes as many as 150 people......their kids were the biggest priority to jim, and particularly Carleen. Jim and Carleen fed off each other in an extraordinary way that just seemed to work so well.
Our prayers are with Carleen, Jim, and family
Thinking of you and your family in our prayers.
