With heartfelt and deepest sympathy. We remember your visit here on our 25th wedding anniversary. We are so happy to have those memories and photos of you. I am so glad we had a chance to talk a while ago and to catch up on old times. She loved her family deeply and was so proud of her boys and her grandchildren.
May the memories of happy times be sources of comfort to each of you in the days ahead.
Wishing you God's peace.
Love Marilyn, Max and Angela Pearce

Don, Tony, Paul, Samantha & families
I was so distraught George and I couldn't make it - as hard as we tried. Carol made me laugh so hard... and cry just as hard. She is with Mom who she talked about missing so often over all these years; and Donna who she cried about leaving us also at a young age. She'll be happy and at peace with them. Carol had a huge heart and a soul only yours can match Don. Tony and Paul, she was so proud of you and will continue to be. I hope the memories you have comfort you and ease the pain in the coming days. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers and I am so sorry we couldn't be with you at this difficult time. We hope to see you soon.
All our love and arms wrapped around you.....

Dear Don, Tony, Paul, and all of your family,
Today you celebrated the life a beautiful lady, wife, mother, sister, aunt, cousin, grandmother and friend. Carol would have been so proud of you all, and I’m sure she smiled in each of your hearts.
It’s difficult to find any words of comfort. Every day we deeply miss the one’s we love and have lost. However, I have come to realize that as each day that goes on, we remember more and more of those wonderful little things that they said or did, that made all the difference - the funny times and the special moments. Let those thoughts warm your heart. Share your love and memories with each other. Laugh as often as you can, and cry when you need to - be good to one another, and remember to take care of yourself too.
We were blessed to have known Carol and will always remember her kind heart, her smile and her courage. From our family to yours, please accept our sincere and heartfelt sympathy. Jerry & Kay, Glenn & Katherine (Joey & Cassandra), Tony (Samantha), Tom, and Chau.
Sincerely,
D-Ann and Dieter Feth

Love D-Ann, Dieter and family

To Don, Tony, Paul and families....we have lost our darling sister, Carol, in body ... not our memories of her. She fought the battle with courage and dignity and we know that she is resting in the arms of God and her family members who have gone on before her. Although we could not be with you during this difficult time, please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you.
All our love, Linda, Joe, Natascha and Mark
Here is a poem that we thought would express Carol's wishes for us all.
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.
