Well Carole, you've been gone 11 months today. It's still terribly hard to pass a telephone and not call you seven times a week. I still miss you terribly. I love you big sister and always will.

Happy Mothers Day Mom. We all miss you so much. For everyone out there ... Don't forget to take the time to hug your mom and tell her how much you love her whenever you can. You never know when it will be the last chance. Love, Lisa

I was so looking forward to seeing my childhood schoolmate and friend at our class reunion. Instead, I will be praying for all of her family. God be with you.

It's me again. Had a hard time today because you've been gone an entire month. Longest month of my life. I miss you so. Your vacation buddy / sister, Judi a/k/a Golden Girl #4.

Carole, I miss you so terribly much. My heart is so heavy I can hardly breathe. I have trouble typing because I have lost my right arm. Richard Simmons called me and remembers you fondly. Also his right hand gal, Linda Williams, sent me a card and you will be remembered at the next Richard Simmons cruise. I love you sissy.

Today would have been Carole's 67th Birthday. (View the Photo Gallery for a picture of Carole on her last birthday with us)

I know Carole told me she "didn't want anyone crying" over her the last time we talked; but when I received the following from our friend, David George, I couldn't help but crying (some more) because I miss her so much. Here it goes, & I hope David doesn't mind me repeating what he wrote to me:

"When you lose a spouse, you lose the present.

When you lose a parent, you lose the past.

When you lose a child, you lose the future.

But when you lose a sibling, you lose the past, present & future ..... because they are the only ones with us through it all!"

Goodbye, my sister, my friend, my kimo-sabee. I'll see you again some day!

Bernie & Girls,

We are so sorry about the loss of Carole. You have always been the greatest neighbors. We will miss that "Stray Cat" and in her own words, "the Crazy Neighbor." She definitely added color to 35th Street.

Uncle Bernie, Lisa, NeeNee, Lori, and Lulu,

I am so sorry about your loss! It was so unexpected and shocking. Carole was so vibrant and full of life!! I took forgranted that she would always be there! The guilt I feel for not coming over to see her more, like when I was little, is overwhelming. She was always a great strength to me in my life. She helped me through many difficult times by listening and understanding where I was coming from. I will never forget the day that I got married. I was so happy and very strong, until I looked out and saw Uncle Bernie and Carole, then I broke down. I realized during this tragedy that the Freno's are FAMILY because I have known you for my entire life (even before) and I value your family and your presence in my life. If there is anything that you need Uncle Bernie, please walk next door and get me, even if it is to just sit and watch TV with you.

I never got to see my cousin as much as I wanted to when I was a kid. We moved to fl. when I was 14 and I never got to see any cousin for years, most of them 45 years. Sorry to hear about her, will miss her a lot.

Judi, Sally and Peg

We are so very sorry to hear of your loss.

We will always be grateful for the short time we knew Carole. You were all so kind to us during our stay in Mexico. We don't know what we would have done without you.

We will keep the pictures of your four smiling faces close to our hearts forever.

Judi and Sal,

I am so glad I was in Ohio to give you each a hug. May God grant you all peace knowing that His loving arms are holding Carol right now and thanking her for spreading His love to the world where she walked.

Much Love to you all.

Aunt Carole, I haven’t checked my home e-mails in a few weeks. It sure was nice to have all those e-mails from you waiting for me! I’m going to save them forever.

Your boyfriend Brad Sheridan is going to miss his “most favorite aunt in the world” and being told what a handsome boy he is. When I see a movie I will laugh and think of you saying “ I promise not to ask any questions during the movie if you take me with you”. Every time we saw each other (as far back as I can remember) you would always say “you get more beautiful every time I see you”. I'll especially remember all of the other special things only you would dare to ask or say!I know you already have, but say hi to Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Dick and our Tony Zalar. I bet you guys are going to have a nice Christmas together. Happy Birthday!

If tears could build a stairway,

And memories a lane,

I'd walk right up to Heaven

And bring you home again.

I can't believe we've taken our last vacation. I love you with all my heart.

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

"Uncle" Bernie, Lisa, Lori, Lynette and Lulu, I was so sorry to hear about Carole. If there is anything you guys need please know that I am here for you all. My main memory of your mom is when we were little and her always teasing me by acting like she was flirting with my dad. She loved to get a rise out of me. She was always someone fun to be around and I will miss her greatly. You guys are in my prayers and thoughts.

Love,

Janet (Cunningham) Dalton

Sally, Peg, Judy & Families... I'm so sorry. Remember when times get difficult how blessed you've been and your memories will help comfort you. You will always have your Mexico adventure and years of happiness together. May family and friends also help you through this sad time. You've not lost a loved one but have gained a guardian angel to help watch over all of you. Love & Prayers David
