I miss you so much,
I still can´t make sense of it
You should´ve been here to see your family grow- to see all your grand children Dakota, Gab, Braxton, Blake, and sweet baby Alex
Sydney and I were so lucky to spend even that short amount of time with you
I will never forget you

I just stumbled across this, and I'm really sad. I was fond of all the Pellerin sisters and though those days are a long way back in the rear view mirror I'll never forget how close they were and what great people. I'm so, so sorry there's one less terrific person in the world, and sorry for the hurt for the others. -- KG

Carol Goodier was the nicest most altruistic woman I have ever had the privilege to know. We mothered our beautiful daughters through dance classes, she taught me how not
to get injured during aerobics, and she took time to talk or catch up if I bumped into her throughout the years. She inspired other women to be their very best as a teacher and when I once asked her what her secret to a happy marriage was she replied, "be careful what you say." Thank you for being you Carol.

Hi Carol, so a few of us are thinking about how your birthday is coming up. You're still the only one with a December Birthday so there will be no cake this month again.. As I'm writing this I see Becky's heartful note to you..I know I'm being selfish, missing you when your family will always be first..and Becky, I can't imagine what you're going through. A daughter should have her mother there on her wedding day, she should have her mother there when she goes into Labor..especially a mother as wonderful as yours..please know that while I still think of Carol a lot, I think about you and your brothers, your father, your Aunts, your neices..I never met any of you guys, but your mom talked aobut you SO MUCH!!

If ever in my life, I've known of the perfect family, or better yet, the perfect sisters - it would be you all.

Mom-
"It's been a year and you're ok"
...remember that?
That was the poem I wrote to you a year after you got diagnosed with MS. I remember being so scared at that time, but so happy that you were back to your normal self shortly after. I never understood why and how you were given that terrible disease...
And now, here it is...13 months after you passed away from the awful, disgusting disease I cant even bear to say. I keep thinking to myself...its been a year and you're not ok...and I'm not ok...
And in this year...so much has happened. A wedding, a new house, a new job, a new baby....but you werent there to see any of it. How can that be?? The emptiness of not having you here for all of these things made every one of them more sad than the next. Every single thing that happens, big or little, I think the same thing..."she should be here for this." And everyone tells me the same thing-- "you know she is smiling down on you" or "she would have been so proud."
That doesnt help the pain though. Nothing does. And every milestone that happens now, makes me think of the milstones that I have ahead of me...getting married, having a baby....and Mom, I dont think I can do it without you. You were my biggest fan..and to not have you there on those days makes my heart hurt so much...it unbearable.
Every single second of every single day I carry with me an unbearable amount of pain that doesnt go away. Every sound, every scent, every memory..it all brings me back to you. You were the biggest and most influential person in my life and now..a part of me has most certainly died with you. I struggle to do the little things now...to get out of bed, to listen to music, to close my eyes because all I see is you.
Mom..I worry about the future..about where it will take all of us..because you arent here to guide us through. Sometimes I think...this is all a bad dream....that this doesnt happen to people like us. You were supposed to help me decorate my new house, and help me pick out my wedding dress. You were supposed to be here to dance with Keith and Brad on their wedding days and to calm me down when I go into labor. This isnt how our lives were supposed to be. You loved us more than I could posibly understand. How am I supposed to deal with the fact that now you arent here to love us?
Those two months that you were sick were the most awful, horrible days of my life. I will never forget April 3rd...everything about it...the weather, what I was wearing, and how you hugged me as soon as I ran in the house and you told me that you were going to be ok..and that it was alright. YOU were comforting ME. I never wanted to tell you how worried sick I was all the time. Remember the day we walked around the middle school? You told me you felt so bad beause this was probably tearing my world apart..you were always worried about everyone else. The last day we had together before you got uncontrollably sick was Mothers Day. You told me to make sure I took my dollhouse with me when I moved, and you kept telling me how beautiful I am. Did you know then what was going to happen?
I want to remember you only before you got sick...but the pain and sadness from those 2 month will never ever go away.
Mom...you were the strongest, most beautiful woman I will ever know. No one can understand the bond we had. The memories that you created for us will stay with me forever, but its the memories that wont be created with you that makes me feel so sad. I am so sick and tired of crying all the time, but the tears I have for you and for what should have been will never stop flowing.
I promise to keep going on with my life and to take care of the boys....Dad, Danny, Keith and Brad. But my heart will never stop hurting...
With all the love I have,
Becky

May 27th will be a difficult day for all of us as we come to the end of such an emotional and tragic year without our Carol. The pain and anguish lingers on in our hearts as we travel together down the path we were given to live without her. Our lives are changed forever but we hope to emerge someday stronger- with the precious memories of Carol etched deeply in our minds. The family thanks our wonderful family and friends for all the comfort they tried to offer during this time. Peace, Susie.

Well what can I say girlfriend - I've been sending you cards for quite sometime now so I just wanted to say - Happy Birthday Carol!!!! It's been over 6 months now that you left us and there hasn't been a day since then that I haven't thought about you at some point during the day! I'll never forget you or the great times, talks and drinks that we shared. Just keep watching and smiling over us as I know you are!!! I love and miss you very much!!!! Again Happy Birthday - Donna.

To my Godmother: What can I say? It has been 5 months and I still can't believe all that has happened. I love you so much and I miss you so so so much. You have always been more then an aunt to me, you've been my second mom! I miss visiting you and laughing with you. You have such a beautiful soul, and you are the strongest person I know. We all miss you very much!
To Richard, Danny, Jill, Keith, Kara, Becky, John, Brad, Ashley, Hanna, and Sydney: I will never be able to think of the right words to tell you all how deeply sorry I am. I am always here for you! And I love you all so very much! My thoughts are always with you. She will never be forgotten.

Dear Pellerin Sisters,
I just, last week, received the horrendous news of Carol's passing. I was left in total shock. I could think of nothing else but Carol for the remainder of the day, and how terribly unfair, cruel, and hurtful life can be sometimes. She was such a beautiful person, beauty that was reflected outward from a beautiful spirit and soul.
I know I should have written something sooner, but I wanted to wait until I was inspired; wait until I felt that my words were accurate and proficient in expressing my deep feelings of sympathy for all of you and your extended families. Words that would communicate to you how terribly sad I am. Well girls, I'm still waiting for the right words to come to me, and at this point, I have decided that there are no right words; there are no words that would explain why this horrific occurrence had to happen; no words to describe how much I wish I could make it easier for all of you to accept, and definitely no words to let you know how truly sad I feel for your loss and for mine, and for all (and there are many) who loved her deeply.
So please, accept my simple offering of condolence, sent from deep within my heart. Know that I am truthful when I say that not one day has gone by without my thinking of Carol in some small way. I want to express to you how very sorry I am for the hole life has left in your hearts.
All of my love to each and every one of you,
August 9, 2008
So it has been over 2 months since you passed away, but work still stinks without you, I still look for you sometimes..but you are not in your office. I want you to know you are not forgotten
Carol and Richard..."Eternal Love"

Dear Carol-
My sister, my friend, my confidant....
I miss you so much and think of you every second of every day. Nothing will ever fill the void that exists now that you are gone. Please don't stop sending us the little signals and messages that tell us you are watching and listening. We are not done learning what you have to teach and show us......
love forever,

Carol
My dearest friend and confidant for more than forty-three years, what do I tell the world about you that they do not already know?
Do I have the right to share the moments since we were so young, you and I; to exchange a few words to write a memorial to you my best friend; do I have that right to let the world know you CAROL, the angel on my shoulder, the way we have always been friends that no mater what distance in miles we were, you and I were the closest to heart in friends there could ever be! I know you remember the moments from peanut butter and jelly sandwiches through my teaching degree , until my being a “Meme) -( and we laughed at my being a teacher and joyed about grandmotherhood)). Oh Carol, you are now an angel on my shoulder; how do I surpass your passing? Do I have the right Carol to share to those that love and adore you your moments since you and I became the best of friends?
Oh my dearest Carol, you are and always will be the wind beneath and above my wings!
It is never goodbye – it is a journey to “SEE YOU LATER”
Love you always!!!!!

To the Goodier Family:
We had the honor of walking in a Cancer Walk on 5/17 in St. Louis, MO and had Carol's name on one of our "In Celebration of" signs that were on our backs and on our stroller. Gracie is a friend of mine from an online Mom's group and we all share in the saddness that you and Gracie are experiencing with Carol's passing. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

To the Goodier family,
I can not tell you how sad I am. Your mom was someone who always had nice things to say. I loved it when she talked about her family and how she looked forward to seeing her grand kids. Her reflection is seen in all of you. I was out of town and had wished I could have been at her memorial service. She raised a great family and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,

My deepest condolences and prayers are with the Goodier and Pellerin families. I had the pleasure of knowing how wonderful and loving Carol was both personally and professionally.Carol taught me all there was to know about insurance at Amica 0/6-0/7.We shared the love of fashion, fast cars and of cause the love of family and friends. I will always remember Carol's High energy for life and laughter. What a "Beautiful Gem" I will deeply miss. I feel so sorry for your loss and sorry for the world who's light has grown a little dimmer when she left us.I simply will miss her warm and friendly smile. A friend always.
May 31, 2008
To the Goodier family,
I just wanted to express my deepest condolences. There are not enough words to express how sorry I feel for your famiy, and there are not enough words to describe what a wonderful woman Carol was. She was a great person to work with and a great person to confide in. But I know her family was first. She talked about her kids, grandkids, husband, and sisters all the time. So as much as it hurts me that she is gone, I can't fathom how much it hurts her family. I hope you can find comfort in eachother.

My greatest condolences to all of Carol's family & friends. I feel so privileged to have met Carol during my lifetime. Whether working with her or seeing her at the gym, Carol's enthusiasm and dedication always inspired me, and will continue to do so. The proud stories she shared about her family reinforced that spending time with those we love is invaluable. I will always emulate her devotion and compassion.
Carol, you are unforgettable. I will miss you and your genuine character and beautiful smile dearly.

To Carol-
I love you, and will keep you in my heart forever. You were more than just an Aunt to me, but a loving friend. These past 22 years have been nothing short of amazing, and without you the following will feel like they are missing a giant piece. We all love and will miss you.
To my family-
These past few weeks have been tough, but I feel honored to have been a part of them. Sitting with all of you, reminiscing on old times kept up our spirits. It is true laughter is the best medicine, so let's keep it going.
XOXXO

Carol,
I remember the first day we met 15 years ago in RI Claims. I knew the first day I saw you that you were truly a special person. You brought joy & happiness to my life. You were always there for me no matter what. We had 15 wonderful years of happiness & so much fun!!!!! I'll never forget the day you surprised me & showed up in Florida. You were always there when I needed you & you will be in my heart always. Not only did I gain a true friend but I also was privelaeaged to be part of such a wonderful family.
I love you!!!

To The Goodier Family,
I would like to extend my deepest sympathy on your loss. I've only worked with Carol for the last 6 months but she was a wonderful person to know. I can not thank Carol enough for being there for me when my husband had a kidney transplant in 01-08 which I was the donor to help me get through it. She was always upbeat which she passed on to others.
Dan & Becky, I don't know if you remember but we worked together in Insurance Plan and after working with your mom I can say she has raised wonderful children. Always remember the good times with your mom and remember she will always be looking down on all of you.
May 30, 2008
Richard & Family,
We wanted you all to know that Carol, you and your family will be in our prayers today. The boys and I are participating in the Relay for Life and our team has dedicated its Relay this weekend to Carol. Be strong. Love and Blessings to you all. Tracey, Brenden & Patrick

My deepest sympathy to your family, especially Dan & Jill, whom I had the pleasure to work with at Amica. I was shocked when I learned of Carol's death. She was so young and so happy with life. It seems so ironic that Carol was someone who was always in the gym working out and had good eating habits. Carol was a great friend that I met in the Amica gym. We spent several years side by side on the treadmill a couple of days a week. I would wear a hat to keep my hair out of my eyes. Carol was always talking about her hair getting in her face. I convinced Carol to wear a hat. We were the only two people on the treadmill, inside, wearing a hat. We laughed about that many times. We talked the whole time and became very good friends. It made the time go by quickly and brought us close. We shared so many personal topics and looked forward to our next workout session to get the latest update. I will miss Carol very much. I will never forget her smile.

To everyone in Carol's family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Someone once told me a day without a smile is wasted. Carol never wasted a day! Our paths did not cross often, but when they did, she was energetic & smiling, someone people wanted to be with. When she spoke of her family it was obvious how much she loved you all & how proud she was of all of you. We will miss Carol but she will be remember by the many people whose lives she touched.

Dear Dan, Jill, and family,
My deepest codolences on the loss of Carol. I will simply tell you that on several occasions, and unbenownst to Carol, I have told others that she is who I want to be like as I go through life. You will continue to learn as time passes just how much she touched our lives. I knew when we first became friends that when it came to living life, she "got it".
Carol, I'll drink that glass of Chardonnay to ya really soon...
Sincerely,

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
Carol, you will be missed deeply by all of us.
Love

Carol's beauty and energy permeated every room she entered. Her style and grace - like no other. Her smile and warmth - inviting. My heart breaks over this devastating loss. There is a void in our family but undoubtedly the people (and animals) in heaven have been waiting forever to receive someone as exuberant as Carol.
Much love and hugs to Uncle Richard, Dan, Jill, Hannah, Sydney, Keith, Kara, Becky, Brad, The Goodier and Pellerin Clans
Jill, I found this photo of you and Carol at my wedding and wanted to share it.

One will never know why Carol was suddenly chosen at such a young age. My heart goes out to your entire family during this difficult time.

And may she find the eternal peace and rest that she is so deserving of.

Carol - This all seems not real. Walking into work every morning, I still check to see your car so I can run in and tell you some crazy thing the kids did last night - then having you tell me, its normal, jess, just roll with it. Thats how you were. You went with the flow and embraced everything this world threw at you. There are so many things I still need to say, need to tell you. I miss you so much already. Its the best of both worlds when you can have such a great person to work for and gain such a wonderful friend at the same time. I will think of you often and pray I will see you again someday so we can "side hop" together.
Love you so much!

I remember when I first met Carol -it was at the finish line of the Boston Marathon to see keith run. I thought to myself that can't be keith's mom, she looks like his sister!! :) We all went out after and I found out she was as nice as she was beautiful!! We talked about how much I loved keith and how she loved kara and how happy we were that you two found eachother... I just know she will always be by your side especially on your wedding day. Sending all my love to all of the Goodier/Pellerin family. My daughter is marrying into a beautiful family.

Dear Kara and Keith, words cannot describe the depth of our sorrow for you and your family. I remember meeting your mother at your graduation party and i remember being struck by her beautiful warm smile with a distint twinkle in her eye, which showed me she was fun loving!! I don't know what i would have done without her at Kara's shower at my house. She was the only one who knew my refrigerator was leaking and she helpled me keep that secret because she knew how stressed out I was. She helped me laugh about it. She was such a big help and a beautiful woman. I am so sorry.
Love Auntie Maria

My deepest sympathy to the Goodier and Pellerin families. Through your time of sorrow, please take comfort to know that because of you Carol has been laid to rest with not a single regret as to the quality of life she lived.
Though she was taken from you far too soon, she spent her years on earth surrounded by a most loving and caring family. As she helped mold each of you into the wonderful people that you are, you also helped mold her into the special person that she was. You filled her life with love and happiness which was proudly displayed in her warm smile, joyful laugh and caring nature. She was happy and loving because of the love and happiness she received from each of you.
As she is laid to rest, remember not only the beauty that she brought into your lives, but take comfort in the beauty that you brought into hers.
May God shine his blessing upon each and every one of you through this very difficult time.
With love and sympathy,
Kim Menard

With deepest, heartfelt sympathy to the Goodier family~
Our hearts cannot feel deeper sorrow for your loss. We will miss the chance to better know Carol...to enjoy her smile, grace and laughter...as we continue to share in Kara's and Keith's life together. In the few brief occasions where we were together and were introduced to your family, we understood the love Kara shares with Keith and saw our common values of love and family. We are grateful that God has brought Kara and Keith together and that Carol has touched our lives with lasting joy and love.
Respectfully,
The Foleys

You gave me patience when I needed it, you instilled morals in me that I didn't think existed, and you taught me how to be a better mother, wife, and person. You are my best friend and a 2nd mother to me. You accepted me into your family from day one and treated me like your own. I am blessed to be a part of such a great family.
My heart aches at the thought that your grandchildren will never see you again. They love you more than words can say, you are their MEMA! They will NEVER forget you and I promise I will take care of your son and your family.
I love you.

My heart is breaking for myself, my family and all who Carol touched in her life. She was more than just a sister to me. She was a best friend, a role model, and everything in between at different times in my life. I will miss her more than words could ever say and like many others have said, I will carry her in my heart and try to learn from what she taught me. The world was a better place with her in it and I'm going to try to live more like her and continue her thoughtful, kind and giving ways.
I will love you always Carol. Love, your little sister.

My heart goes out to the Goodier Family. Carol was my supervisor last summer when I started my career at Amica. My first day on the job, Carol came across as such a hip, fun to work with, yet knowledgeable supervisor and she was by far, one to remember. Her beautiful smile, warm heart and sense of humor made not only I, but others at work and outside of work privelaged to have known her. I will always remember her, what a wonderful woman she was.

My heartfelt condolences. Carol exuberated a love of life and all who met her felt that love. There's a saying....some people come into our lives and stay, some people come into our lives for a brief moment and we are never the same....Carol was that special person to so many of us at Amica. She touched us and we'll never be the same. We are grateful to have known her.
