Carol is one of the kindest people that I know. She always treated me like a son and cherished every minute that she spent with her family. Carol you are loved and will be missed. I know she is looking after all of us from above.
Carol welcomed me with open arms and I grew fond of her early on in our relationship. She taught me how to make Italian cookies once and I will always cherish that day. I bet all Italian mothers and mother-in-laws are great cooks and bakers – but obviously Carol has a special place in my heart. She welcomed me from my first visit and I always tried to help her whenever I visited. She had a strong, fighting spirit. Carol struggled with health problems for years but was loving and kind to those around her no matter the battle she was fighting.
While we, as a family, are getting used to saying goodbye – we know how lucky and honored we are to have known her and have had her in our lives. We will cherish the memories, appreciate the stories, and love she gave us. We will always miss and love her.
Twenty + years of fun and laughter were shared playing bunco!She loved the pink dice.I will miss her wit and charm.She was a great listener.I know that she now is at peace after so many,many hospital stays.I will the family well.
