Dear Sharon and Family,
So sorry for the loss of your mother. I was at the Mass this morning and couldn't help but think "What a lucky woman Mrs. Carlton was," to be so loved by all of you. May all your memories of her always bring a smile to your face. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sharon, Carol and family...
Prayerful sympathy at this difficult time. Somehow words don't seem enough at times like this, but knowing that others are with us to share our sadness, helps to get us through. Your mom was deeply loved...I remember her many visits to EBCCS...her warmth and kindness...she certainly reflected goodness and love! What a great gift (among the many) to leave her family! She remains with you in the love...in the memories...and most of all in that special place in the heart.
I keep you all in prayer...(she is praying for all of you now)..
Love,
Brother John, OFM

Glen, and my favorite sisters,
My family and I are sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother .She was a beautiful woman who was kind to everyone who had the pleasure to be in her company. I am so lucky that I was one of those people. She raised you to be as caring as her . How things come full circle your dad coach me in football and then my Kristina had the good fortune to learn of Jesus from your mother, I am truly blessed.She is now home with her Bobby. May god welcome her to his kingdom and have mercy on us whom mourn her loss. God bless you all

Hi Carol,Sharon, Beth
You all remind me of the story "Little Women" Only I would have named it "Big Women". Take the time you need, for you. You have one another, and your families. Your Mom is in good company upstairs with the Big Guy, we call "God", and with all our loved ones. They will see each other, and never feel pain, sickness, ever again. I felt peace when I came to understand that. What love she shared with and through all of you. The laughter, the fun, the very joy of family. Your families, her beautiful children and all her wonderful grandchildren. What a legecy to leave you.

To the Carlton Family,

Sharon, Glen, Carol & Paul, Beth & Joe, and ALL of the wonderful Rozzi, Carlton, Baglio and Durfee grandchildren!
There are few people in life who can make such an impact on so many people in such a simple, quiet way. Your mother/nana was such a person. She was truly one of the holiest people I had the pleasure of knowing. I have such love and respect for your family as a whole. Your love and kindness is such a beautiful legacy left behind by an incredible woman. You were blessed to have her as your matriarch.
While I know that there are no words which can take away the pain of your loss, I do know that in time, happy memories will replace the deep sadness you are feeling. Your mother was a gift, and especially at this time of year, I reflect on how thankful I am to have known her.
My prayers and sympathy are with you ALL!! Josephine will be sadly missed! I am here for you, for whatever you need!
I love you~
