It seems impossible that 10 years has passed by since you left this world. When l saw Tony the other day, and saw the handsome hardworking man he is, l thought of you and how proud you are of the young men that you raised. I know you are watching over them....just like you always did. Keep flying high with your angel wings, my friend.

Travis, Tony and Randy,
No words can tell you how sorry I am that you lost your mom, best friend, and wife. I will always remember seeing Karole on the sidelines at the football games helping all the guys with whatever they needed, cheering you all on and always having a smile on her face. She was a very special lady and I shall miss her. Only time heals this deep sadness, but know that she will always be loved and she is with you always. Love, Jan, Matt and Chris Ciarvella
