Hi Carol. It has been almost nine years since you moved to Heaven. I am certain that it is lovely there and you are with your loved ones. I think of you every time I notice one of the many Springer Spaniel-themed items you gave me. Thank you for being such a positive light in my life. Cindy

Eight years have passed and I think of Carol many times. She gifted me some Springer Spaniel memorabilia so when I really at look something she gave me, I feel my heart smile. Thank you Carol. Regards, Cindy Bryant

Carol had such a sweet, soft heart. She was kind. She gifted me many items that I still use and think of her every time I do. Heaven received a true Angel when Carol arrived. Thank you Carol for being my friend.

Dear Carol, It is hard to realize you have been gone for five years. I think of you often when I look at the many items you have gifted to me. I still smile when I look at all of the Springer Spaniel plates and pictures I have hanging on my walls. Rest well dear Carol. You are loved and missed. There is happiness in knowing your suffering has ended. With love, Cindy

It is now June 2019. Carol moved to Heaven three short and long years ago. I still see items in antique shops and think that Carol would like that. Then reality does a head slap on me. She is never far crom my heart. Over the years she sent me many Springer Spaniel art and plates and they all hold special places on the walls of my home office. She is constantly touching my heart. My conception of death and Heaven is that our spirits move. There is no death as in not existing but as moving to a higher level. Carol moved. I will move when my time here has ended and I will meet up again with Carol. In this I believe and I will rejoice and we will laugh about our dogs. Carol left quite a footprint on my heart. I feel her; I remember her; I mourn my loss but rejoice in her happiness and peace. We are all better people for meeting this awesome lady. Thank you for inviting me to share my thoughts after these three short and long years. Cindy Bryant, Lacey WA

Carol and I met in high school and we became the best of friends. We would spend a lot of time riding around in her bright colored yellow Pinto. Those were the days!
Carol went off to college and I began my career. We kept in touch over the many years at Christmas and birthdays. We hooked up again about a year ago. I would visit with her, spending time reminiscing, going for ice cream, having lunch and just enjoying each others' company.
I will truly miss her.
God bless you Tom.

I met Carol many years ago through eBay when she was selling a Springer Spaniel collectible dog plate. I didn't get the plate but after few emails back and forth a friendship developed. I will treasure our friendship forever. Carol has such a loving and gentle soul. She has a sincere love for all of her pets. I met Carol and Tom in 2010 when I traveled to the east coast. It was terrific to put a face and share a hug with my online friend.
Carol is only a whisper away. I am sad she has physically left us, relieved that her pain has ended, and happy that she lives in Heaven, just across the Rainbow Bridge. With fond memories, Cindy Bryant
