Ten years? Where did that time go?

I am certain that Ten Years was a mere blink of an eye for Carol.

I cannot believe it is almost a year, and yet, since it is Spring, I know it is true. Carol left us at a lovely time of year, a time to know that life renews itself, as it does when we leave to go to Our Lord.

When I pass by her former stores, the home she lived in, and State Street, I think of Carol - but I also think of Jean, Jennie, Judy, Julie, Jennie, Mike, and all of her other family members. If you ever wanted to know someone who loved and cherished family more dearly, you would have to travel far to do so - Carol so loved her family - and she delighted in their visits!

I remember one year, after many years of not doing so, she made the little Italian breads and decorated them. I was the lucky recipient of some of them - and am still waiting for the recipe - did anyone ever find it?

Carol had such fun that year, baking the colored eggs in the bread, putting frosting on the breads, the table, herself, us - it was a wonderful time. The joy, the laughter! These shall live on in my memory of Carol.

Were there difficult times? Yes, I am sure there were - but let those times fade away, and remember the good times - mourn not for Carol - she is happy - and one day you shall join her - and your happiness will be complete!

"My soul does not rest, until it rests in you, O Lord" - Carol, at last is at peace, and for that, we are thankful!

I was sorry to hear of Carols passing. I only knew her for a short time. But I wish to send my sympathy to you. For Carol was a great person to know as a friend. For she will live on in the hearts and minds of all who knew her. For she will be in my prayers as well as your family.

In the Peace of Christ,

Carol brimmed with life, laughter and conviction of heart. A friend for life. She touched the lives of many, including mine. As she walks those streets of gold, I am sure she is rejoicing. Yet it will take a while before our tears dry. Our love to the family with our deepest sympathy. She loved her family and her friends dearly. Sweet Carol, even though miles apart, you have always been in my heart. When I look up to the stars now, I know that somewhere you are dancing behind them in complete joy.

Hug mom, dad and Lori for me. And save a place for me too, my friend.

I was extremely sorry to hear of Ms. Fosco's passing today. I still call her "Ms. Fosco" after all these years. I first met her when I was 6 years old, 42 now. She was my first grade teacher. A truly kind, remarkable person. I have so many fond memories of her. Spoke to her about a year ago...bubbly as ever. To her family and dear friends, I am truly sorry for your loss. There are many lives she touched...young and old. Her life on earth was a true accomplishment. Loved her contagious smile.

Rest in Peace Ms. Fosco

I will miss Carol's bubbly laughter, her infectious smile, and her virtually eternal optimistic attitude. She had a heart of gold, and loved her family dearly, especially all of her nieces, nephews, and all of the "grand" ones also! She lived for them.

I know that Carol is overly joyed at being with Our Lord, although it was very, very difficult for her to leave her loved ones behind. Rest assured though, that she is preparing her new home to receive each of her family and friends, when it is their time to join her. But you still have your work here on earth to do - Carol's was finished.

We grieve for our loss of Carol - but are joyful in that she has "gone home".

Dear cousins and families,

It has been many years since I have seen Carol Ann, but cherished memories from my childhood and the wonderful family get-togethers with her and all of you at Aunt Millie and Uncle Joe's home will always be with me.
I hope your many special memories of Carol Ann will help you cope with your loss. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Denise, Greg, and Anthony Constantino
