Carole was a beautiful and very sweet person. I have many childhood memories of wonderful times spent with her and the family. She had the most sparkling smile, she would light up the room. Sending love and wishes for peace to her family at this incredibly sad time. May she rest in peace.
I have fond memories of Aunt Carole as a youngster. She always greeted us with her smile and kindness. I am sad to hear of her passing. I am wishing you courage, strength and love as you navigate through this difficult time. Rest in peace Aunt Carole.
Dearest Deborah and Russ! It is with a heavy heart that I send prayers of comfort and peace. Although many of my memories of Aunt Carole are rooted in the past, her legacy is the love she has always had for you; her daughter, best friend, caretaker and confidant; Russ, her incredible “son” by marriage; and of course her beloved son Brian and first husband Richie, with whom she will reunite with complete joy and peace~
With Love,
Cousin Carolyn
