Aunt Carol was always a strong and independent force! I think I have a bit of her feisty in me:relaxed:. So very sorry to all for the loss of her passing but happy she no longer suffers! She has joined my Dad and Aunt Julie and it’s another strong force watching over us all!! Prayers to Robin and Aunt Jayne, my heart goes out to you and I send hugs and prayers your way! Love, Deb :heartpulse:
Although the miles have separated us, I have many fond memories of visits to Aunt Carol as a child. She remained always fiercely independent. I hope great memories take place if sorrow for those who knew and loved her. My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Jayne, Robin and family. Juli
I am so sorry for your loss – especially hard on Jayne who lost 2 sisters in such a short time. The better side of this is that Carol is in no more pain. She will be missed by many and I have a lot of good memories over the years. Rest in peace Carol.
Prayers to you all! Love, Thelma
I often realize how lonely I am for Carol.
She was part of my every day for six months and gave me a purpose in life. She endured her last days with great grace and without complaint.
I’m thankful for everybody’s words of comfort and the loving kindness that’s been shown to me.
