John, the little while I knew Carole, I had already learned to love her and hoped to be close friends. I am so sorry for your loss. John is in a nursing home right now. They broke his leg at the hospital in 2 places or I would have been in touch before. I am so glad you know Jesus..the only way we can bear these burden..Sending our love and prayers.
My dear Carole,

My dear “Best Bud”, If it were not for my faith, I could not bear to deal with your not being here. I am happy for you that you are in heaven with our dear Lord Jesus, your family and friends. There are not enough words to express how sad my heart is and how much I will miss you. I am so very grateful for your love and friendship in my life. We were sisters in Christ on earth, attached at the hip and in our hearts. I will carry that love with me for the rest of my life until we are reunited and sisters in Christ in heaven. With love and thanks, your “Best Bud”, Karen XX OO
John and Bruce: Please know that we are keeping you in our prayers. Carole is enjoying her new life so very much!! I am sorry I will not be able to attend the memorial service as I have to work. Talk to you soon, Love, Lloyd, Melonny, Aaron and Abby
I was truly saddened to hear of Caole’s leaving us. Although Carole and I never met face to face, we had talked via the phone several times.
Through the times John and I talked with Carole, I sensed that she loved the Lord, was a sensitive, kind, and loving lady.
I felt a kindred spirit with her and now feel that I lost a dear friend.
My heartfelt sympathy and prayers are for John and for Carole’s family.
May God be close to you and comfort you at this difficult time and on into the future.
To our dear friend John. My heart-
felt sympathy goes out to you, Bruce and Melody. My thoughts are
with you and I feel the pain for
you. Much love and prayers. Betty G.
