Carolann Woolever

Mom and I were just talking about you and wondered where you were and how you are doing? We laughed about the two of you talking to the TV every time. Mom still does it and it drives me crazy, this is why I will never take her another movie after the Titanic. People were telling her to be quiet...Funny how that memory is now funny to recall, I will do the same once my mom is gone and laugh at the times I made her do to her own room to watch TV.

Hard to believe how many years have gone by, but no matter that time marches on I still think of you often, and miss our break time chats way back when. I see your welcoming smile and hear your cheerful voice as clearly as it always was, greeting every guest by name, remembering their children spouse and pet names too! RIP Carolanne. I'm sorry life was not easier for you - no one deserves peace and comfort more.

Carolann I know you already know this but mom and I were talking about you the other day. She says you were visiting her for some time after you left us. I am sure you found a way to do that and wherever you are I know you are helping others. You are not forgotten and we will se each other again!

Bunny and I were just talking about how you and my mom talk to the television out out loud to no one in particular. Definitely a family trait and worthy of a chuckle every time. Mom still does it and I ask who are you talking to, pause...no reply. We love you and miss you still, you are not forgotten.

No one who is remembered is ever truly gone. I still think of Carolann often, especially when I drive by or visit The Inn. That smile! It's simply unforgettable, and was truly her way of spreading joy to every one she met. Carolann, I think your life here may not have been easy, but you always took the time to make sure everyone around you was happy. I picture you in heaven, smiling and dancing, and giving that famous hug to all who join you now. Thank you for the memories, which I cherish....

As we sat and watched the last moments of your life ebb away, we thought, “It's time” and we said, “its okay Carolann, you can let go." I saw the struggle you went through knowing it meant that you would be leaving us behind, and I saw you cry wanting to stay. But as you began to realize there was a new beginning waiting for you and your body could no longer keep you here, you silently slipped away. The loved ones who passed before you were awaiting your arrival and you saw them there waiting...

Thank you everyone for your kind words and fond memories. It means a lot to my Father, my Wife and I as well as all of her sisters and brothers.
