to all of you-I was so sad to hear of your mom passing. My memories quickly went to all the times spent at your home, and the quiet calm that was a constant with your mom. After talking to you on Friday, Haley & a friend were here. I was upset, and a little impatient. But then my thoughts turned to your mom, and how many times we were at your home, and never once was she short or appeared annoyed with us! Thinking about her, helped me to dig deep, and find my own calmness. I shared with the girls what a loving, caring person she was, the homemade pizzas and sleepovers. I know you will miss her beyond belief, and know that i cared very deeply for her, and share in your sadness. Love ,barb (barbara-as your mom would call me)

Tom, I pray that you will find comfort in knowing how much Carol is loved. I have been her dialysis nurse for nearly 5yrs and miss her so much already. Carol is one of the most kindest women I have ever known. She is always smiling and so positive despite her many illnesses. I will miss her many stories of the grandchildren. God Bless and take care.
