Mom,
There really aren’t any words to describe how I’m feeling. You were my best friend, and the very first person I ever loved. I will miss you every day, but I am so happy you are finally with Daddy. He missed you so much. I love you very, very much. Don and Hope say me too.
Love you forever,
Shelly

Dear Aunt C,
To say you will be missed is an understatement. We shared the same name for so long, not sure what I will do without my favorite aunt. Love you and hope you and Uncle Fran have found a beautiful beach in heaven! Give my dad one of your famous hugs for me. ❤️ Carol

I am so grateful for the memories with you. You welcomed me with open arms and always made sure I felt loved. I will miss hearing your stories, the pool trips, and our shared love for dessert. You showed us an endless love in marriage and we look to you as an inspiration. You smile and joy is already so deeply missed, don’t worry we will still find ways to talk to you. Love always ❤️

Carol, you will be missed pretty lady! You always had a smile every time we saw each other. You promised to hold on for a while longer and I took that for granted. You are loved and your Seaside family is heartbroken!

My Dearest Aunt Carol,
I know you are in Paradise with Uncle Francis, my Mother, Grandma and Grandpa and so many other loved ones who have gone before us. There are no words to describe how much you are and will be missed here on earth. I will miss our talks, texts and time together. But will especially miss your hugs. Please give my Mom a great big one. I love you Aunt Carol ❤️❤️❤️
