My deepest sympathy to Christie, Tommy, Katie and your families. Thank you for taking such good care of her during her illness. I’ll miss you so much, my dear friend. We have had so much fun for over 70 years – starting in first grade at Holy Name. I promise to continue to read every John Grisham novel I can get my hands on – as long as my eyes and mind stay strong. I’ll cherish your memory and remember what a classy lady you were. Until we see each other on the other side. Much love.
My dear dear friend you are gone much too soon. I can’t explain how much I miss you. My heart aches but I know you are so happy now being with Barb & your Mom & Dad. I want to thank your terrific niece Christie for all the phone calls & updates as you traveled this road. Tom, Katie & all the rest of your family thank you also for being so wonderful . I love you girlfriend & always will. Rest In Peace. I will never forget all the fun we shared through the years.
To our life-Long and Childhood friends, Tommy and Christy – Our condolences for your loss. I will always remember all tips and tricks Carol and your mother Barb provided, along with their volunteered time, assisting us with a big garage sale several years ago at Dad and Terry’s “South House” – As we named it…We had a lot of fun during that long weekend, despite the dreaded prep time. Those two Gals certainly helped made it successful – Lots of great stories and memories re-lived at the same time. Sincerely, Mark, Mike & Angie Moriarty
For Tommy and Christie…I’ve watched you grow up from babies to adults. Our families have remained friends your entire lives. You both were so supportive to your Mom and Dad when they became so very ill. I know both are very proud. Now you have taken care of your Aunt Carol in the same way… We love you…Tom & Terri Moriarty
May God bless you and give you peace, Carol….and all who loved you! You were always so kind and cheerful. Give Juli Drake a hug from me. Love…Bonnie Schott
