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
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,

visitation.

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

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

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.
