Bob and Family,
I will always have fond memories of Carol, she was such a wonderful careing person. I don't think we hardly ever missed a birthday or the family tradition dinners. Those were great times in Medford and Port Jefferson.
Just wish I would have kept in better touch through the many years. I will always remember and miss you. Love

Bob,
I could think of a thousand words, and none of them would be appropriate enough to describe the partnership you and carol had in marriage. I will always remember her as a very strong and courageous LADY! And a lady she was! She would only hope for your pain to heal, as I do. My prayers are with you and your family at this time of great loss.

Its been a long, long road. She was a brave and courageous soldier. She fought a good fight. I have so many memories growing up with her ( and of course you Bob and the kids coming into the picture). She was always so helpful. I know you will miss her deeply. Keep good memories close to your heart. God Bless and be with you on this journey giving you strength and comfort each and everyday. To Carol I say thanks for being a good friend. We managed to keep in...

Carol was such a good friend, that I found through you, Bob. Watching your kids grow up, your family increasing and the joy it brought was a blessing to all of us that know you. Thanks for letting us be part of your family - not only at work, but all of the more important times - together for fun and making memories.

Bob,
Lorraine and I are saddened at hearing of Carol's passing. She was one great woman and she will be missed by many. She made everyone around her a better person just by her genuine, warm and sometimes feisty personality.
May God bless her soul and may he also give you and your family peace.

Dear Bob and Family,
I will always have fond, loving memories of Carol. Working side by side her, sharing, laughing. She was always interested in you, always listening to you.
She always gave her best at everything she did.
She was such a wonderful person. I feel very blessed to have had her as a friend. It was so hard to see her suffer, now she is finally at peace.
She will be dearly missed.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and...
