I just happened to be thinking about Carole as I knew her over 30 years ago when I lived in Rocky Hill and was going to reach out. I am sorry to read about her passing. She was interesting and carried herself with grace. Although it's been a long time, please accept my condolences.

Hello Carole,
I was so glad I had the chance to be with you in August (14 months ago). We had a chance to catch up, laugh a little as well as have tearful moments together. I told you that I was with you on your decision and although missing you, I'm certain you knew what was best for you.
Carole, you were and will always be my sister who wouldn't go the conventional way- you made a decision that some wouldn't and as I told you- I honored that decision. So as your one year anniversary passed yesterday I thought I'd start off year two with this note to you. Send my love to Bob, Mom, Dad, Aunts Edna and Alice, Uncle Tom, Uncle Charlie, Nat and all those who arrived there before you. It must be a GREAT reunion.
with love and kisses,
David

Your forever sister,

Dearest Carole,
I cannot believe it's a year since you made your passage to Heaven. I think about you every single day. I remember the early morning and after work phone calls that were only going to be five minutes that lasted so much more. So now, I talk to you before sleep every night. I ask your advice about everything and somehow hear you answering me! You know that our sweet shih-Tzu, Gracie, joined you last December 11th; so unexpected and suddenly.
I hope she is nearby and you can comfort each other and have fun. When she was visiting you last September I saw how close you became and thought, it's good they have each other up there and can do stuff together! Please know that you have taught me so much about life, that although I am so sad you are not here with me; you will always be in my heart. You taught me to enjoy every single day, laugh and appreciate all the Blessings I have in life and love. And I do. I will continue to smile every time I think of you.
Your loving sister,
Judy
P.S. Please say hi to Mom, Dad and your husband Bob for me! I love you all.

Judy Werble Weiss and I have been friends and co-workers for more than 20 years. As anyone who knows Jusy can attest, anything on her mind usually becomes the topic of conversation. In this way, I shared stories of Judy and her sister, Carole's, weekend excursionj, dinners out, girl talk, jewelry and clothing swaps and lots of laughter.
As C
arole's illness progressed, the happy talk dodn't diminish, but was increasingly supplemented by worry.
Rather than considering myself a sounding board, I felt personally involved. Carole was not just a voice on the phone, or a lovely, smiling face looking out from Judy's comnputer. he had become a friend..a friend once removed..but one who will be sorely missed.

I met Carole at the consignment shop I work at. She came in often either alone or on a Sunday with her sister Judy (when they did their sisterly shopping). She was always dressed with style & shopped around in her 3 inch heels!! I will always remember these Ed Hardy boots that she bought because
I was kinda surprised she wanted these boots since they were so funky looking but in her words "they were to die for". Funky, she did not care. She wore it & wore it well. She made her own style.
I will miss seeing her at the shop.

Sending deepest sympathy to Carole's family. We will fondly remember Carole and Bob and the many fun times we shared at Mario's and at parties Bob and Carole graciously hosted at their home. May Carole's spirit now be reunited with Bob and may she rest in peace. With Sympathy, Becky Gagnon & George Langston

Judy & Famiky,
I met Carole in a shop that I worked at. I refuse to use the word "customer" in reference to her. She was much more, she was aray of sunshine every time I saw her. She was a lady, a class act, always dressed like a million do lakers with the perfect accessories and her movie star sunglasses to complete her outfit. She was a kind woman who won my heart immediately. I can hear the excitement I. Her voice when Judy would be coming for the weekend for one of their shopping sprees. It was a joy to watch them together, like little girls playing dress up and laughing and living their time together. I will never forget Carole, the world has list a true gem.
You Are In My Thoughts & Prayers,
Lana

It saddens and weights my heart that a sweet soul of Carole is no longer with us. She was nothing short of being inclusionary and loving everytime I was around her. Gone but not forgotten. RIP Carole.

There are no words to describe what Carole meant to me. She was a loyal customer of my mine, but she was also a loving and caring friend. No one lived life as colorful as Carole did. Her sense of style and her love for fashion was one of the things that made her so very special. The world has lost an amazingly gracious woman. I will miss so many wonderful things about her, but I will always respect her love for life!!!

Carole was a dear friend and neighbor that I sorely miss each and every day. I miss her happy, smiling face each morning and afternoon when we took our daily walks. We enjoyed each others company and doing things together and those are the wonderful memories of Carole that I will always remember and cherish.

Compassionate, wise and intuitive. Those are some of the ways you will be remembered Carole. That you thought of me as your sister along side Judy is an honor. And I will treasure the time we spent together, the 3 of us this past summer. I am grateful that you are at peace now, and I am grateful that I am able to share these thoughts with your family & friends.

So Sad! I will always cherish the good times we had at Mario's and all our friends there. Now we lose another one of us but at least she is reunited with Bob. Say hello to Bob and Warren for me Carol!
Will miss you Carol.

Dear Members of Carol's family,
Carol enjoyed the gift of life and lived it to the fullest. Will always remember the special parties in the backyard with her and Bob. Her smiles and laughter will continue to be remembered always.

Hi Carole, I can't believe how much I miss you already . It's Sunday morning now, and time for our 10am phone call; but at least I know I can still talk to you and that somehow you can hear me. We were lucky to share so much special time together; so know you have filled me up with memories I will treasure always. I will love you forever my dear sweet sister!
