Oh my heart is breaking....

a few years ago I would 

do post of stars and

celebrities passing on.

Lately it seems that it is 

people from my life.

Meet Carol and her hubs

Tony. This pic was taken

in July 2018, our 40th high

school reunion. Carol and 

I met in elementary school.

Carol had a rough start to 

life. She was born with a 

whole in heart and with 
surgery at three she
became paralyzed. When I met 
(in second grade)
Carol was walking but
due to all she had
been through her feet turned
out to the sides.
There were surgeries
and years of walking with
a cane and also having 
to use a wheelchair. 

Carol was a tough person,
that spent her whole
60 years in pain.

She was loving, caring and 

one of my biggest fans. 

I was lucky to have lunch

with Carol, her cousin

Cindy (my partner in crime)

and their other cousin in 

August. That was our

last lunch, but we had done

it before. It was getting time

to do it again and I wished

we had been able to do that.

Carol suffered surgeries

through her life and thanks

to the medical world she was

able to have her feet straightened

although she walked with a cane. 

She was always upbeat and 

caring towards others.

Carol's body just 
could not continue on 
and she was having

 issues lately,

on May 28th at 3 in morn

she gave up the fight.  

I am glad Carol will no longer

suffer the pain of life and body

but she will be so missed. It never

failed when I posted something on

facebook that I made or done,

she was one of the first to always

comment and tell me how proud

she was of me by doing and over

coming my chronic pain issues.

I am going to miss her comments.

I am going to miss her checking 

on me and me checking on her.

RIP Carol. Be pain free.

Funeral homes are 
opened up again,
yes, I went to
visitation.

Another friend posted 
 on FB that Carol and 

our friend Laura that

we lost in Oct. a

year ago was sitting a table

saving a spot for the rest of

us.....

Then looking through my pics

I located this one from our

reunion in 2018.

Laura and Carol

sitting at that said table

waiting for the rest of us.

Love you both.

Missing you both.

Cindy, my friend that 
I mentioned before, Carols
cousin and best friend sent
me this pic she ran across
while going through pics...
This was taken years 
ago at a bridal shower.


In Dec. Carol dressed
up, did her makeup
and went to the Mall
to see Santa.
Hard to believe that in 
the pic below, sitting
in Santa's lap, looking
so healthy and pretty 

 
that she would be gone
in May. 
Her heart and her body
just could not take
anymore. With blockages
in her legs and 
infection in her 
colon, she grew
weaker and weaker
but we know she 
is, for the first time
in her life, free of pain.
