Carol, my love, I miss you so much. I am sorry I didn’t tell you often enough how much I love you.
Your loving husband, friend, and spiritual partner in life.
Until we meet again, rest easy in the arms of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Dear Carol, I am heartbroken to know you are no longer on this earth but glad you are at peace in the arms of Jesus. I will always remember you as one of the best friends I ever had the pleasure of knowing. I thank God for the many years we were such close friends. You were actually more like a sister. So sorry for this tremendous loss, Bob. You are in my prayers daily. May you sense God’s presence, peace, guidance and love during this difficult time knowing the separation is only temporary.
As I found out about Carol, a lovely friend I had met from church…. I can’t help to remember all of our little talks we had. So meaningful, so sweet, so uplifting… carol was a very sweet and unique person that I was able to get to know. My heart is heavy for her husband Robert. But the Lord will guide him in this time. I am certain of this, I have endured the same type of loss so I can say this with confidence….. May Carol rest in peace til our Lord and Savior returns.
Thank you, Julie, for your condolences. I cannot fully express my appreciation for your touching comments. They bring to mind the time Carol told me about meeting you and your daughters, about how she had found a new friend. I will never forget.
I am sorry for your loss, as well. Words alone are inadequate. God bless you and keep you and your family.
I remember Carol called my grandmother Dolores all the time with the most wonderful health advice. She was always so nice to me as well. I loved her so much.
