Joe and family you are in our thoughts and prayers. Carole, I met you on my wedding day, but felt like I knew you forever. My son and I were also very lucky to share a day with you and Joe in Tarpon Springs, Florida. I think you and Joe went in every gift shop trying to find gifts for everyone back home. It was a day I will never forget. You were definitely a special person and will be truly missed.

Love, John Mistal, Jr., Kim, Peyton and Kylee.

Carole is special to me because friends are special people. We have been friends since we were 10 years old. We have a history together, we have roots. The day I met her I knew I found a freind for life and our friendship will never end.
Carole, you never judged me, you understood me and you gave me hope for a better tommorow. You were always there for me and I for you. I knew I could count on you and you could count on me too. Even though we are separted by miles we have keep close in contact all these years. Thank you for listening , supporting , cheering me up and basically just being there for me during times in my life. And I know all the people you have touched in your life feel the same way.
The friendship we shared is precious to me so lets hold on to it and each other. You were my true friend and now you will be my Guardian Angel.
To the family; my deepest sympathy. My prayers are with you. You have lost a part of yourself. One thing that will keep you going is the treasured memories of our loved one Carole. Hold on to it and each other.
I love you.

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 wished 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 that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing 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 worthwhile,
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 footsteps 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.

Carole, how 'we' have loved 'you' for the so 'little' period 'you' have allowed 'yourself' into 'our' family.

You will always be in our hearts and prayers.

XOXOXO,

Ron, Kathy, Ronnie, Nicole & Jeffrey

There are no words to express the shock and sadness that we feel. For so many years Carole kept the Slomowicz family together, conducted all the wonderful family reunions,and was always there when anyone needed her. Many of Monday nights my Mother,Carole and I would hang out together creating memories that I will cherish forever. She has and always will hold a special place in my heart. My prayers are with Bobby Jr. and Joe in your time of grief and sadness. May God Bless you & help you through this time of need.
