It's all because of them, this big wonderful family we have.....our friends, the places we live, the things we do, the way we look. Without them none of us would be here. This internet space is for us all to share, to tell our stories to each other, share our photos, record our memories. We can all add to it.

Fantastic!!!!
Thank you so much for putting this wonderful montage together for us. It was just perfect....a wonderful tribute to Carol.

I was glad to put it together. Carol was so charismatic and fun.
I remember when I was fifteen and visiting California and Carol met me and my Mom there- she was just so cool- so free, so laid back. I wanted to be just like her.
When we lived in CT we used to go up to Attleboro once in awhile and my Mom would show me her and Carol's old stomping grounds and tell me stories about her and Carol's childhood adventures.
Carol was such a hoot. I'll miss hearing Carol stories. She and my mom were quite the pair....
that was.....overwhelming. I have to confess that I haven't been able to even look at this blog...or at my computer. I've drawn in to myself like a turtle into it's shell, not in a bad way, just to continue integrating the whole big experience.
To all of you that I met and grew to love in Reno, please know that I am thinking of all of you. I am feeling sad to be so disconnected.
What a tremendous loss we've all experienced. Your tribute, Kerri, captured Carol's spirit so well. Thank you so much- love, leslie
Leslie, you are not disconnected. You are just far away geographically and I think of you all the time and the wonderful things that you did at Carol's. You are an "angel" on earth - so thoughtful and empathic. You did so much for Carol at a time that she really needed you. You were there. You are one fantastic woman and it has taken me this long to get it in writing to you. I could not help but watch as you lovingly took care of Carol in her last days.
Carol knew. She knew it was you. So don't feel disconnected. I think of you all the time and our time in Reno. Carol has brought us all together. It was her plan.
I will see you at the Memorial in maine I hope. I'll be there.
love ya chica!

What a beautiful tribute to Carol, she would absolutely love it.
Thank you Kerri, this is very fitting. I, too wanted to be like Carol when I got to be her age. I am her "young friend" - although at 40, I sometimes would act more like HER mother. Our friendship was never about our age - always about us being ourselves around each other. I loved Carol for "herself" as did all of us! She was always so REAL. Lets all stay in touch! I think its very theraputic to us all to have each other. Sharon
What a beautiful video, I am so touched. Of course I am bawling too, her spirit really came through, great job.
Love, Eva
How beautiful Delores! Very moving....I don't know if you'll see this post now but just wanted you to know, I check the blog periodically and ALWAYS replay this wonderful video to remember - makes me sad yet happy thinking of Carol. Anyway, just a quick hello. I plan on writing a real 'post' to blog later this weekend. (when more time and can figure out how!) but again THANKS and hope you're WELL. What's your ph number???

It's near to summer now and I often think of Carol, every day as a matter of fact. Today is her Mom's birthday and I know how important it was to Carol to be with her on this day.
It was a year ago that she called and had me come visit in Reno for three weeks in July. Little did I know that it would be my last good "times" with her. She was deteriorating then, had Justin cut her hair all off so she wouldn't have to see it on the pillow. Then she sent Justin and me to Macy's to get her some scarves. She didn't like any of them. But she wore them anyway!
As I looked at the video again, I still can't believe she is gone.
Not being sad - just remembering good and happy times with Carol.
Love to you all
Dolores
