Peanuts, my heart is breaking with yours. You found your soul mate and you shared a beautiful love story. Remember those times and cherish the memories. You both stepped up when the other one needed love and support. I wish I was there to give you that big bear hug I know you need, but this pic of us is my online hug to you, big brother.. We don't have many pictures with the two of you with the girls, but this visit was very memorable for us. Carol was so good to both of the girls. We love you. Call me when you need to talk. I'm here for you. I love you. Stay strong for her and for you.

Sure sorry Mom, Matt and I weren´t able to make it after Mom´s fall in Ogallala. Lots of special memories of them living here, all the kids helping with the paper route, all our ceramic and craft projects and all our cooking adventures. After they got the positions at Windy Peak Outdoor Lab School we were there lots! We´d take all our supplies and make ALL our Christmas cookies there. They would come down almost every weekend to stay at our house. Carol and Matt were special friends and he was in the mountains with her lots. She gave him her old kiln and got him started on new hobbies. We were the sisters each of us didn´t have! After she moved back to Nebraska we still kept in close touch and talked on the phone often. Sure do miss my "Rowdy"

I´m so sorry to hear of Carol´s passing. She was such a sweetheart and always so kind to all. I wish I had gotten a chance to know her better, but treasure the moments we did have together at Bob´s house. My deepest sympathy to all her family, but especially to Peanuts. Such a loss of a very special lady for him.
