To my Aunt Carol...You are one of the most special people in my world...and one of the biggest loss in my life. I will miss you terribly.

John & Family, I just now received the news and am incredibly sorry for your loss. Carol has meant so much to me over the years since we worked together at Sun System. Indeed, she was so special - always so thoughtful and even at times a maternal figure to me. I know we now have a special intercessor for us above. I'm sorry I didn't find out in time to attend the services, but it sounds like it was a beautiful tribute to a wonderful lady who touched many, many lives with her love. I will keep you all in my prayers. "Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her." Amen.

It was my misfortune of not having known you better – but remember speaking with your husband John on those occasions where Bob and Georgia would invite me to the “Good Friends” reunions. I was at the wake Thursday night and in my 71 years life experience I have never seen such a turnout (over 500 people) in a tribute to you as a person. May the perpetual light shine upon you and may you rest in peace.

She must be saying “What’s all the fuss about?” but what a wonderful tribute to the beautiful woman we said goodbye to today. We will always remember her warmth, her common sense wisdom, and her endless love for her family and friends. Love to the entire Calderera family – stay strong and please know we will never forget her. Oh how we will miss our truly “Good Friend”.

Upon reading all the fond feelings
expressed for Carol, we felt the same
love for her in the small amount of
time we got to know her. She was a
really special person.

I dont know what to say, other than what I knew about Carol was that she was such a sweet lady who loved her family dearly. She was a huge support in my mother getting well last year. I love her for that. She will be missed and adored by everyone that knew her. I pray that Johnny and the kids and grandchildren have the strength to support eachother during these hard times. God Bless you all.
