We wish to extend our sympathy to the family. I sure enjoyed the time spent at the ball games in the senior league. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Aunt Carole –

You were so much more than an Aunt to me.  Since my mother (your sister) died when I was so young, you were like a mother to me.  We shared many secrets, much laughter, great love.  It was you who I went to for advice – and your honesty was always appreciated.   I will miss you and your contagious laughter immensely.

Love always,
Your niece Michelle
