Dear Carol's Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Carol from parking at PFE and looked forward to talking with her when I paid my monthly lease. I am a huge Disney fan and she and I spent many conversations talking and planning her trip. She looked forward to that trip for years and the dream of going with her grandchildren meant everything to her. While words cannot ease your loss, I hope that you take comfort that she got to take that dream trip with you all that meant so much to her before her unexpected and sudden passing.
Please know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss Carol very much she was a wonderful and very special person.

Dear LaMaide & Zilles Familes,
My deepest sympathy to you all.
I met Carol in first grade at St Leo's...what wonderful times. We caught up again in later years, and worked together at two differnt companies. But I got to know Carol best at bowling, which will always be my fondest memories...our bowling get-a-aways were the best. Thank you Carol for being my friend!

Dear Family,
It was a pleasure for me to be acquainted with Carol at her work place. When I stopped by to conduct business, I would stop in Carol's office and she would ALWAYS talk about her family, show me pictures of her grandchildren and the special picture calender she had. Just last Friday we were talking about Disney World and the tips she gave me to make the trip more enjoyable. I could tell her family met allot to her. I will certainly miss Carol and my heart goes out to you, her family.

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 wishes 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 I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thind 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 worthwile,
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 foorsteps 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.
