Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. That is how I will get through my sorrow, by remembering all the happy times with Carol. God knows there have been so many over the 45 years I have known her. I considered her my best friend who was like another sister to me. I am missing her so much, that my heart aches. But I know she is in a better place that is pain free. Thank God for that. My deepest sympathies go out to the entire family.
