I am so sorry I didn't know of this sooner. I knew of the accident, but didn't know that you lost your little angel till this past weekend.

I just can't imagine the world without Caryl and her beautiful smile, fun and easy going personality.

Children's Activities at WDW lost their favorite guest, though you have all lost soooo much more.

My heart breaks for all you. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

Lovingly, a WDW Cast Member that use to live in Newburgh

To the parents of Carly, I'm so sorry for your loss and the deep pain that you feel. Words cannot begin to express my deepest condolences. I was there at the Kids day that you had in memory of your daughter and it was a beautiful tribute.Hundreds of people attending got to know of your daughter's kind spirit and generosity and I can say for someone that never knew your daughter because of that Kids day event and the love that was there in everyone that attended I can say that I would never forget her. You both would be in my prayers as you try to get through each day without her. Carly was an angel that touched the hearts of people she met and the ones she didn't.

I pray that you will find beauty in life and know that she lives on in your heart. She was truly an angel. I wish that I could say or do more. I just want you to know that there is not a day that goes by that I do not think about the two of you. I pray that you find peace and happiness and live on as Carly would want you to do.

Dear Sigelbaum family,
My heart and prayers are with you through this time of tragedy. My daughter knew Carly at Gardnertown. She said she was "always smiling." That is how she and so many others will remember her. It is said that GOD will not give you anything that you cannot handle. Your faith will be tested during these times. I pray that your faith and memories of Carly can help you through these difficult times. You and your family are in our prayers every night. We pray that you can find peace again. “She’s in good hands, the same hands that hold the key to your fragile heart.”

TO LOU & CARLA

Maybe GOD wants us to meet a few wrong people, before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one, which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you sit on a porch and swing with never saying a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.

It's true, that we don't know what we've got until we lose it; but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Don't go for looks, they can deceive, don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone that makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to bring you joy.

Always put yourself in another's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go well in life until you let go of past failures and heartaches.

Carly
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life to the fullest so that when you die, you'll be the one smiling and everyone around you crying.

Be blessed that you had this gift and comforted yourselves by the love that you gave her.

My family & I wish to express our deepest sympathy to both families at this time of deep sorrow for all of us. We lived on Union Ave. & my children went to Gardnertown School with Louis & Linda. I remember many merories of Girl Scout events with Maria and the girls. As I think of what you are going through, my thoughts turn to Maria and what a tragic loss that was. I know in my heart Carly is now in the arms of her grandmother Maria. There are no words to express what we feel. May God bless all of you.

To Carly's Family,
It seems so meager to use words to express emotions that are too intense to even name. Our granddaughter played soccer with Carly and our son-in-law was her coach. We spoke with her, we cheered for her, and now we grieve.
With all the support that surrounds you, and all of the memories you have, we can only hope you will be reminded that Carly will live on forever. She is now at rest, at peace.
With our deepest sympathy,

Dear Carla,
I do not have words to explain how sorry I am for your loss. Your family is in my prayers.

May God give you strengh to continue your journey on Earth until you meet your little angel again.

You never said "I'm leaving"
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why

A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died

In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill

It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

Siegelbaum family,

Lou was my son, Brian's, asst. wrestling coach (JV) in 2002. I can remember seeing Carly at some of the matches/practices. Her smile, even at that young age, was truly contagious.

We were blessed here on earth for 9 short years of Carly, but she has taken the leap into Heaven and I am sure she is watching over her mom and dad, friends, and family 24/7.

Peace be with all of you during this difficult time...

Dear Carla, Words cannot express how deeply saddened and sorry I am for your loss. My heart is broken for you. May all of your memories of Carly always keep that beautiful smile on your face.

Do not stand at my grave and weep:
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow:
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain:
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the
morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there: I did not die.

I have been thinking of Carly since I heard the terrible news last week. My daughter, NIcole Schofield, and Carly took gymnastics together for several years at Gym Kids. She always tried her best and it could easily be seen how much she enjoyed gymnastics, and more importantly, what a sweet little girl she was. The last time we saw Carly was a few years ago while walking through Epcot in Disney. Since Nicole was no longer going to Gym Kids, our eyes met and for a moment, were unsure of who the other party was. But smiles immediately followed, to recognize this sweet little face, and I am glad this happened in such a wonderful place like Disney. This will be my last memory of Cary - in Disney with her mom and dad, who love her so much. My heart goes out to you and your family. I think and pray for you each day. I am so sorry for all that you have had to gone through these past two weeks. God bless, Carly.

Carla & Louie,

My heart has been so heavy since I was told of the accident. I've prayed every day since. I wish I could take some of your hurt away just to help you. Please have the strength to go on and know that Carly was not only loved by her family, friends and school-mates but by the entire community.
When I told my husband how sad I was and that I kept picturing her great smile after she got the first goal for her soccer team...only a few weeks ago...he told me, "That's the best way to remember her."

Keep her smile and love in your mind and she will be with you always. She was loved, will be missed but won't be forgotten.

I wanted more than anything to come and say goodbye tonight, but as I drove by earlier My heart broke in a million pieces, my legs went numb and I could not make the turn into the parking lot.I could not even fathom the pain and sorrow you must be going through. I said goodbye to Carly as I waited for traffic to be directed away from the funeral home,I smiled as I thought of her by your side in her soccer uniform, her beautiful blonde hair, her beautiful face and bright smile.I asked God to hold her tight and help you be stong and help you understand why she is with him now. Carla,We love you very much. I thank you for being such a wonderful person and caring for our children the way you do. As I hold my boys this evening and my tears swell up, I hope that Lou is getting better and that you may be blessed in extraordinary ways to make this pain ease away.All our love
C-ute as a button
A-lways watching over you now
R-emeber all her youth,passion,and beauty

October 24, 2008

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.

Dear Carla,Louie and family,

Louie and Carla,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. Although we have never had the pleasure of knowing your little "ray of sunshine", we can see that she was a precious angel to all who knew her. Now she will continue to be your angel, watching over her two wonderful parents. Know that you are loved and we will continue to "pay it forward" in Carly's honor.
We continue to pray for a speedy and full recovery for you, Lou.

To Carly,
You are one of God's littel angels who he wanted near him to help him. I didn't know you but I have a daughter your age. May your new journey and LIFE be full of peace and eternal love. You were chosen because your job on this earth was complete in some way that only God knows and understands it to be. All you need to do now is watch from above over your family and through you and God fill them with the love they remember you by and give them the spiritual strength!

To Mr. & Mrs. Sigelbaum,
I am a mom of a beautiful little girl your daughter's age. My heart aches and cries for the pain that I can only imagine you are, and will be, going through. But keep in your hearts the love that your daughter had for you, and you for her, never letting anger or pain control your life from here on. She is a beautiful angel with immense and illuminating wings and a dazzling halo that shines for ever, and you can see when you close your eyes. Her warmth will always be over you, even when times seem the coldest and hardest. As I sit here and write my eyes tear-up and my throat tightens, and I feel a sort of pain and sorrow. Although I don't know Carly or any of you and your family, it feels just as sad as if I did. Please know that my prayers and my family's are with you all!


~~But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

Carly was very special. She had the biggest smile.When we were five or six years old I went to her Build-A-Bear party. I miss her very much. Mrs.Sigelbaum I am sorry because I know that she was your beautiful angel. I know you loved her very much. Carly is with God in Heaven and in a better place. One day you will see her up in Heaven and you will be together again. Jesus loves you and cares for you very much and so do I. Carly and God are watching over you right now and every day. I miss her very much.
Love,
