Dear Bill and family, I am in Phoenix, Az, and just heard of Carol's death.
I am so saddened. I was touched by Carol's warm personality....I felt like I knew her forever! Stay strong, Bill, the Lord will help you through this. Your Uncle Bill is in Ct. with family, but when we both get home, we will be in touch.
God bless you and your family...Dottie Allen

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Our Dearest Carol
You have touched and transformed our lives from the first moment our circles crossed and will continue to do so.Many memories of the good times shared are carved deep within all of us. But my favorite as many others will always be of the family gatherings at Christmas, and for that you will be forever remembered as our Christmas Carol.

To Carol's Family,

Lavo Family,
My thoughts are with you as you celebrate Carol's life and her memory. She was that one of a kind that you meet in this lifetime. She looked at life as such a gift and treasured her family as gifts also. Those of us left behind will miss her tremendously but can be comforted by knowing that she will be reunited with her daughter and father. May the two of them be the angels who watch over your family now and forever.

It was with great sorrow I learned that you have lost your beloved Carol. There are some people who make the world a better place and Carol was one of those rare people. Her kindness and compassion touched many lives. How blessed you were to have had her for your wife, mother, daughter and sister.
