I have great memories--even better I've got photos--of Carole showing some of her finest and funniest moments at Arlene's annual "Women's Week". Never failed to see both Carole and Calvin (a.k.a. ottoman) getting up with the sun, to catch fish. I know Carole had a great heart. She always showed a great respect for nature and all of Earth's wonders.
Goodbye Carole, please say Hi to Hobbes and Lucy if you see them.

Grandma, Thank you so very much for being such an example of a strong yet loving woman. I am so lucky to had you as a mentor, friend, parental figure and grandmother. Thank you for always being my "G-MA." Always different, you were never a "granny" and thats what I love about you. I miss you so very much already. Please tell Grandma Reinhardt I say hello & I love her too. Love Always, J-me

Mommy, I miss you so much already and it's only been a few long long days. You were and still are the light in our family. We are so proud of everything you accomplished. You loved all of us so much and you loved your animals. I would give anything to pick up the phone to hear you one more time or hold your little hands again. You were a rock and such a great role model. You were the strongest woman I ever knew. Thank you for all of the gifts you gave us all and for being the best wife, grandmother and mom anyone could dream of. We have each other and it's all because of you. I love you mom.

I love you Aunt Carole. I have only the best of memories. Camping, staying at your house, the Doxies, and ice-cream in the carport. I am so thankful we stayed in touch through emails, and facebook so we could share photography and talk about our dogs and families. I have been blessed to know you and have you as an Aunt. I will remember and love you for all my life.
