Hi Carol,

It is hard to believe that a year has passed since God called you home. I think of you often. I think of all the talks we used to have, all the times we spent together, all the holidays, how special you (and your family) treated me from the day we first met (my birthday) and all the years after that, so many happy memories. I will never forget them or you.

Those we love shine on ...We look at the night sky in the quiet of darkness, and they are never far. Those we have loved and cherished, those who have changed our lives in some small or profound way are closer than we know, because it is their light that shines on our world. It is the brilliance of their souls that makes our night sky glow. May peace shine down upon the Consolo Family and bring you comfort.

Love, Nadine

To Phil, Guy, and the rest of Carol's family. I would like to extend my sympathy to all of you concerning Carol passing away. God simply took her away to fast. But I am sure that she is in heaven resting peacefully. Carol and I lived in the same neighborhood many years ago. Again, my condolences to all of her family members.

Dear Philip, John, Little Philip and Family,

My heart is so heavy as I write this. I have so many found memories of your mother and I will cherish them always. Your mother loved you all very much. Her children always came first. I know this will be a tough road for all of you. I pray that with the love and support of your many loved ones that you can all find some comfort and peace.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Peggy and the kids send their sympathies as well. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

My deepest sympathies, Nadine

I recently came across this and I wanted to share it with you today.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there are no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free,
remember you're not going, you're coming here to me.
