Carol: I was one of your students @ SVC. I loved your stories about getting run over by your own car, and always heard such joy in your stories and life. You could laugh at yourself and laugh with us and made hum drum classwork more pleasant and memorable. I always thought you had a kind spirit and only wish I had more time to get to know you better. You met my daughter who six weeks ago passed away at age 36. I hope you are visiting together, and you are both sharing the beauty of your auras with each other. Rest in Peace and to your family and friends, take comfort in the happy times you spent with her and also knowing she no longer is suffering. With deepest sympathy.

You knew how to walk in beauty upon the earth, Carol, and you modeled that for others. Now you walk in beauty among the ancestors. Thank you for blessing us with your time among us.

Oh Carol, Your time seemed so short here. Now you are free to travel through the galaxies in ways that were not even imagined before. Your huge, beautiful spirit will surely light up any dark spaces in the universe. Thank you for all you gave to this planet, making it a better, more joyful place. I will miss you and will always remember those brief moments in time that we shared. I love you and send you sweet, sweet blessings. - Sylvia

To Carol's family - I am so glad that you could be with her at the end. This is the way that humans traditionally have died - surrounded by those who loved them and who watched over their passing, keeping them safe until they reached the Great Beyond. I feel Carol's peace now, and hope that this peace can reach out and help you adjust to a world where she is no longer visible, but still alive in another form. Having very recently lost my husband and having had Carol's help getting through that period, I know that my spouse was there to greet her on the other side, where she is not alone and not encumbered by her earthly body. I wish that I had been able to say goodbye to her in person, but she knows that. I also know how much energy 'saying goodbye' takes from the dying person, and so we are glad that you could filter our loving messages by reading them to her. Thank you again for being our links to our dear friend. And blessings to you in times to come.

Dear Family of Carol,

I went to Carol once for a Shamanic Journey session many years ago. She was a delight, brought me peace and offered very helpful clearing work when I felt so new in my own intuitive skills.

A couple years after, she invited me on her radio show to talk about my animal communication work. It was a new experience for me and Carol was wonderful in 'breaking me in' regarding all that fancy microphone equipment and in inviting me to keep the conversational flow happening.

Over the years Carol and I had many communications with her beloved dogs, Jack and Jill, a puppy I no longer recall the name of and her dear cat friend, Bast. We would often chit chat after our sessions, catching up on how our lives were. I always enjoyed that.

I trust that Carol, Jack and Jill are a trio of bright shining beings, beaming love upon us all now.

With closing thoughts, may Carol's celestial laughter be perceived and may peaceful comfort surround you, her family, during this time of great change.

With warmth and love,
Danielle Tremblay

My sister Helene, brought my daughter and I two summers ago to Carol in Bennington.We live in Hawaii.We spent about four hours with her and I learned so much about my spirtitual self and what I needed to do to take care of my spiritual and physical self. I am forever grateful. It was also one of the most meaningful mother - daughter experiences I have ever had. Carol and the healing she brought to us was a miracle in our lives. Mahalo nui loa Carol. Into the light, Imua !

Dear Family of Carol,
Please know that you are in my thoughts during this time. As I'm sure you have realized from all the messages to Carol, Carol was a very special and amazing soul. She made a huge impact in my life as with many others through her healing work over the years. I also know that Jack and Jill were welcoming her home too. While physically she may be gone, her wonderful divine spirit lives on. You are all being divine held and will continue to be.
With warmest regards and love,
Andrea Evey

Dear Carol's family,

I am so sorry for your loss!

Carol was an extraordinary woman. She brought so much love and light to her friends, her community, her medical students, and her shamanic students.

She touched so many people and in this way she touched the world. Her contributions have touched all of life.

Carol had a great sense of human. She always brought so much laughter into all the workshops I taught that she participated in. I will always see her laughing.

Carol will be greatly missed. And I know she is at peace.

With love and blessings! Sandra Ingerman

Carol,

Thank you for providing me with great inspiration and different view on how to heal. You are the inspiration that made me want to help people. Your smile in the hallways of SVC, always seemed to brighten my day even when I didnt think it was possible. You were part of the reason why I decided to change my decision on degrees at SVC.

For carols family,

I am sending my thoughts and prayers in this difficult time. She truly an amazing, inspirational, kind person, that will be missed by so many. I know she is looking down over us and protecting us.
The one story I have for you is this:
It was valentines of 2007, the school was closed due to the snow storm, so many of us ventured home as we thought that school would be closed the next three days. well Friday morning I woke up and school wasnt cancelled so I frantically emailed Dr Tunney and apologized for missing my favorite class, which was her a and p class. She responded back with something along the lines of, "I am glad to hear you are safe, though i wish you were here in class. And oh by the way there was a pop quiz today that you missed." I emailed back asking if I would be able to make up this pop quiz. Here response back was again along the lines of sorry, I cant let you do that because I will be handing them out in class on monday. however if you can make it up the hill before class I will perhaps have a blank one waiting for you.

Carol, May you rest in peace, and may your legacy of healing of others continue.

Dearest Tunney family,

I just heard of Carol's passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace. Our families go back our entire lifetimes and more.
There is no easy way to ease your sorrow, but reading all the great shared memories of her beautiful life will keep you going. I have come to live by this quote in the last few years.
"Life is not the way it is supposed to be..it's the way it is..
The way we cope with it, is what makes the difference."

Prayers and blessings to you all,
Love, Ellen

I worked with Carol at SVC and then went to her for healing. She was a gem. Someone said "sparkle on" and I so agree as well as saying that her drum will beat forever. Be well my friend.

To Carol's family --

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time! I'm so glad I got to spend time with Carol at Omega a few weeks ago and to laugh and reminisce about our years together in shamanism in medicine. So many good memories!

Her life was a blessing to us all. Cecile

Carol's journey on this earth was filled with love, kindness, and warmth. I will miss her. Condolences to all her family, which extends far beyond the "blood" family. The earth is a lesser place for her leaving, yet a better place for her having been here.

Sue and family,
Carol talked about her family of origin often. I am sure she was so grateful for your being there for her this summer and fall. I think it is so incredible that you traveled distances, and put your own lives on hold to be there for your sister and daughter. Although none of you follow Shamanic practice, I want you to know your spirits shine!
If there is anything you need with packing or figuring things out, please remember I am glad to help. Thank you for helping my beloved friend transition.
Nancy

Dear friends and family of Carol,
I learned from Facebook yesterday of Carol's passing and am so sad. I was Carol's roommate for a year in 1981-1982 in Rochester, NY. I was doing a post-doctoral fellowship in cardiac physiology at U of R, and Carol was working in a lab and applying to med school. Carol was one of the best parts of my life in Rochester. She was a wonderful roommate and I will never forget her great laugh and her great appetite for life. I will never forget how she helped me adjust to the Rochester winters. She would always watch out for me if I was out late, and we had wonderful talks about everything imaginable. When I moved to Washington DC and got married, we stayed in touch for awhile and she even visited me there once. I'm sorry to say that I lost contact with her as I got busy with raising a family and she was consumed with medical training. Even though I recently 'found' her on Facebook, I had not had a chance to talk with her again, and now I am so sad that I never will. Thank you to the person who posted the radio interview - it was so wonderful to hear her lilting voice. Listening to all the tributes to her makes it apparent that she affected everyone as she did me - I will never forget her - and I will try to honor her by becoming more aware of the spiritual dimension of life and trying to live each day with joy.

Carol was one of my teachers at CCV. I was deeply saddened to hear about her illness, and even more sad to hear she passed. She was one of the best instructors I've had at CCV. I will be sad to no longer stop and chat with her in the hallways.
I'd just like to send my condolences to Carols family. I'm truly glad our paths crossed.

If she has a public service I'd really like to come and pay my respects.

Carol's Family,

My deepest condolences for your loss. I was a former student in her Nutrition class during my time at CCV. My time in her class was always full of laughter and joy, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I would like to pay my respects if there is a public service.

Peace be with you.

I had lost touch with Dr. Tunney but the years that she Chris and I worked together in Schuylerville were some of the very best years I ever worked. She gave me the opportunity to spend a weekend with her family in their home and I will be forever grateful for that weekend because it was just amazing. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I just learned the sad news today. Carol was of great help to me on my personal journey and damn it, I was going to call her to make an appointment. Her awesome and light-filled presence will be missed.

Carol, you have been a powerful ally for me over these past few years. Your loving and skillful presence has helped me to know myself more deeply. Your guidance has helped me to find doorways into new chapters of life, with greater Health and deeper connection to Spirit. The effect of our brief time together will forever ripple through the waters of my existence. I am so grateful, my friend, to have known you. And I sense that your presence for me, and many others still in this world, will not quickly fade. With love,
Josh

Hi - I met Carol at a Wellness Fair in Great Barrington, MA this past April. We had a lovely day together, sharing much about our work and the fact that we both wore Aqua colors and matched that day. She allowed me to borrow her fairy bell to clear someone and I bought one of my own which I use on my healing work every day. I wanted to get in touch with her and am shocked to find out that she has transitioned. One day - lots of love - my fairy bell will always honor her spirit. Sending love and light to you all ~

Dear Carol's Family,

Words fall short to express the loss of Carol in this life. She is an incredible soul. I am so glad that you were able to hear a few stories from those whose lives she had touched during the drumming circle after she had transitioned. She continues on through us. She is very special to many many people. Thank you for sharing with us as well.
Much love,
Elizabeth

I read only today of Carol's passing. Carol was my dear college friend and she did a healing on me two years ago. At that time she suggested I do pet-sitting, which I did. This past Halloween a little cat appeared in our area, and a neighbor brought it to me. I have been telling everyone that the kitten dropped from heaven. Now I realize that Carol sent her to me. I named the cat Nimue and I thought of Carol as I researched the mystical name. Carol would have understood better than anyone the literary reference of that name, and what it meant to me. I miss her so much. I thank her for the gift of my little cat. Love, Kate (I started a blog on the kitten.)

To Carol and her family,
As a former student of Carol's I know that she is sharing her love, passion and joy for the life she experienced here with those on the other side. I see her surrounded by not only human spirits but many small furry and feathered ones. Thank you for sharing your gifts. It was a pleasure and priviledge to know you.

To Carol's Family:

I just recently found out about Carol's passing. Carol was so many things to me that I don't even know where to begin. She was such a fantastic, interesting, unique, caring person with a great sense of humor.
She introduced me to the wonderful world of healing crystals. I've taken many of her seminars on crystals, nature, clouds, etc. Carol was so full of wonderful knowledge.
A session I had with her recently, helped bring my health back quicker.
I, as well as many others, will miss her immensely.
Blessings and peaceful thoughts to all family and friends.

There were the three of us that worked together within our spiritual work. It has been a long time since Jaya and I have been together with Carol in that way. I did not know she was sick. She once told me that I was one of few that she felt confident about giving herself over to the spiritual healing of her body. I can only believe that it was no longer time for us to come together even though she was so sick. I am grateful for the love and care that people gave Carol as she left this world to go home. I am grateful for the time that Jaya and I spent with Carol. I am grateful for the family that brought her into this world. Melissa

Dear Tunney Family and friends,
Sending heartfelt sympathy for your loss of Carol. I just learned of Carol's death, and am so grateful all the 'family' was with Carol during her illness and passing.
I went to Penn Yan High School with Carol and knew she was destined for greatness. Carol out shone me mathematically. Luckily I got all her math books, filled with Carol scribbles, poems and crib notes. My sister and I spent 2 summers bicycling down to see Carol and misc. sisters at her family cottage. We swam, boated, water skied, and annoyed Conrad,, just like he needed more girls making noise.
Carol came to my wedding, and being summer, she invited the wedding party for a swim, ...we all went for a dip.
Sadly, I lost touch, but I'll treasure my PY lunches and summers with Carol.
Carol, shine on!!!!See ya, when I see ya
Love, Roseanne
