With heartfelt condolences to the Gudinos for your loss.
Remembering the hours of laughter and fun in our home when Grandma, Mom, and Aunt Carol would get together! Side splitting stories! My hear is sad for Uncle Louie, Uncle Tom, Lisa, Louie, and Dana! There is a party in heaven where the sisters can laugh again! Love you Gudino’s! Kim Rodino Madison
I am so sorry for your loss. Carol will be greatly missed. She was always welcoming and caring to me when I would come to stay with Lisa when we were teenagers. Prayers to a great Godmother. I know you are laughing in Heaven with your family members. Prayers and comfort to the ones you left behind knowing there is a void in their life now, but also knowing that they realize you are in a better place. Prayers and Love Mike and Christi (Widelski) McElhaney
Deepest sympathy to your family during this sad time. May your good memories keep her spirit alive. She is now in the arms of our Lord, and free of all earthly pain. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. ߙϰߏ» John Marroni Family
I have been blessed with the two greatest Godparents ever! We miss you Carol.
Where do I begin? So many #memories are flooding through my mind right now; from Carol being my first babysitter for myself & my sister; to me being her flower girl at her wedding many moons ago…However, one memory that stands out solely because it was a total hoot for me to watch, was when Carol & her sister Rita (my mom) would reunite after not seeing each other for a few months! ߥ° It was quite the sonic boom!! 😀 as these two literally squealled with super duper lively excitement & love that filled the whole house! it was so darn cute!!! ߒްߒްߒž Last but not least, I cant end this without giving my aunt Carol her final round of applause & accolades on her many #talents & achievements! She was an amazing seamstress, like wowza!!! & her arts & craft projects were always so bomb!!! She ALSO went to college & obtained a degree in computer programming while simultaneously raising children & tending to a home & husband! MY AUNT CAROL had what I call the “eye of the tiger” super focused with the discipline of a Sholin monk!..She set the bar high in many aspects of her life & Needless to say, she was & is an inspiration in more ways than I can express here… but I tried.. because she would NEVER boast about all her accomplishments & obstacles she overcame.. but I will…because I know how SUPER amazing she is!!! ❤ߒ֢ݤ My deepest condolences to Lisa, Dana, Louie Jr. & Louie Sr. Sincerely, Me.
Carol and l were childhood friends, growing up on the same street. We’re sending love and prayers to Louis & the family. Our comfort is knowing we will see one another again. Lynn and Bob Kline
Lou, Dana, Lisa, and Lou, I was so sorry to just hear about the loss of your Mom. I have a lot of great memories of her, but most of all I know how proud she was of her kids. She was faith-filled lady who will no doubt have a special place in heaven. Warm Regards, Nate Davis
