I never know what to say in this situation. I did not know Carol however, I do know Gary. I have heard that she was a good woman. I Know that she was going through a lot. She had some health issues and was struggling with some things. To her family I just want to say be at peace. Carol, your daughter, sister, wife, mother whatever she was to you here on earth. Be sure that she is now with the lord. She is no longer suffering in pain or worried about what is coming next. As Jesus said with his dying breath “IT IS FINISHED“. May she rest in peace.

Dearest Theresa, Cuda & Polizzi family...we are so very sorry to hear about the passing of Carol-Ann. She will always be remembered fondly and lovingly. We will never forget all the summers we spent together or how she always had a beautiful smile on her face. She had a loving and caring heart and she will be missed. My mom was so very happy to see her last year and spend time with her. She often recounts their visit. May her smile light up Heaven as it always did on earth.
With Love and Deepest Sympathy, Zia Pina, Nick, Mario & Terry Papadopoli & families.

Tom, Marc-Anthony, & Juliette, John, Alex, and I don't have to tell you what a wonderful person your wife and mother was. Tom, you and Carol had the kind of marriage that most of us only dream of. Maybe that is why God took her so early- he wanted to share in that joyful spirit of hers. Carol and I fought the"good fight" for years for our sons'academic fairness in an unfair world and you so often inspired me when you were too tired. I will never forget your fierceness in defending family and always putting them first. You were amazing even in illness. We never got to have that cup of coffee that we planned cause I too was not well. Someday you, Lois, Marybeth, & I will share whatever they are serving that day in the next world. We will not be the same without you, but hopefully you have taught us many things in how you lived your life. I remember one dinner we girls did have on our way back from Boys' Scout Camp. You bragged so lovingly about your Tom and how but this tiny, tiny thing, he would be perfect. We were all so jealous. Tom, I know I don't have to tell you that you were a lucky man; you knew it and bragged yourself about her. What a fortunate union of souls. She will never leave any of you. She will find a way to whisper in your ear, touch your spirit, or make you remember something she told or taught you. People like Carol are special and you are so lucky to have had her and all her creative and kind energies for so long. I know it's never easy to let go because it's never easy to lose one form of a person who meant so much to all of you. She made many of us so jealous especially when she bragged lovingly of Tom, Marc-Anthony, Juliette, her adorable little grandson and was luck enough to love her daughter-in-law and son-in-law. She taught me a lot about being a "right fighter" and I will be forever be grateful. Carol, I never made it over for that cup of coffee, but Tom, when you are able John and I will have you over for one of John's famous dinners and we will tell stories of Carol,laugh, and remember her the way she would want. We will miss your human form, but you will always be among us,especially your family. Love and gentle hugs, John, Betty, & Alex Wysocki 4/10/12

Carol is one of the most beautiful angels I have ever met. I wish I had been as good a friend to her as she was to me. I know she knows how much I love her and how much she will be missed by all that she touched on earth. I just hope she saves me a spot close to her where she is. To Tom and family I pray that your grief turns to wonderful amazing memories as quickly as possible. I love you all.

I know losing someone you have been with for most of your life leaves a hole that nothing is going to fill. I'm glad you have friends and family close by to be with you and help you. A very important part of my childhood is gone and I'll be looking back fondly in the days to come. Just know my spirit is always there with you.
