Dear Joe, Jennifer, Kimberly and Jay,

Arthur and I were deeply saddened to hear of Carole's death via a neighborhood email this morning. Every time I pass "your house" on Wright Road, I think of lovely conversations with Carole about teaching, gardening, how Joe and/or the children were doing, the church, summers in Harwich--and I remember poignantly a cold, cheerless January day when Carole brought me a steaming crock of chicken soup while I was recovering from the flu. I wish that Arthur and I were close enough to do the same for you as you gather today to grieve Carole's loss and celebrate her life, but please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you today along with those of many of your Wright Road neighbors who remember you with much affection and still miss you,

Love,
Lukie and Arthur Yaghjian

Dear Joe, Jay, Jennifer and Kim,
My family was saddened to hear of Carole's illness and passing. She was a good mother, friend and neighbor who shared her God-given talents with such enthusiasm. Wright Road hasn't been the same since the Lambs moved from here. She has left all of you with a rich legacy to follow. We are so sorry not to be able to join you today. God bless.
The Loynds: Rod, Joanne & Family

Dear Joe, Jennifer, Kimberly and Jay,
Your Wright Rd. neighbors were devastated to learn of Carole's death. We had no idea she was so ill. She helped to define our neighborhood in the 70's, 80's and into the 90's. She was a kind and gracious woman, a hostess for so many neighborhood events. We will miss her gentle and loving spirit. We are so sorry that distance prevents our attending her service, and sharing in the celebration of a life well lived. Please know that you are in our prayers at this very difficult time.

Marcia, David Cook and family

Dear Joe, Jennifer, Kim, Jay, Elin and Thomas,
We will always remember Carole with much fondness for the years we watched our children grow up in Concord and for the special times we shared. God gave Carole life to make the world a better place and she certainly accomplished her mission. She will be missed but never forgotten.
With much sympathy to all of you,
