Aunt Carol always made me feel loved and welcome. All of the times I spent with her back when I was young and more recently were always filled with good memories. One of the last times I saw Carol she explained to me that she did not fear death, that she had experienced it before. She told me that she remembered seeing everyone around her, and that she felt at peace, no fear, no regret and no sadness. She said it was the most wonderful feeling. I will miss her, her deers and even the sneaky raccoons. While, I am sad that she is gone, I can not help but smile to know she has the peace that she spoke of and some amazing company with her in Heaven. All of My Love Always, Amy
My heart goes out to you all in your time of sorrow…
My everlasting love. I hope that you are at peace and without pain. Give my love to all that went before you. I love you Mom
