On Nov. 10, 2007, Family and Friends gathered at the chapel of St. Bartholomew's in Portland, Maine, for a final goodbye to Carol.
Justin conducted the service, nephew Eli and cousin Michael played guitar with music that Carol loved. Some of us told stories about Carol and how much we all miss her great smile, personality plus and how she was always the "hostess with the mostest."
Her friends were many and diverse and she held family especially close. She loved people and she loved life itself.
There were beautiful yellow roses, her favorite, from Mom, Lois, Eli, Hannah and Justin and flowers from Don also. After the ceremony we drove to the cemetery where Carol was laid to rest near her father, Ed, and Tom, Lois' husband.
It was a beautiful site and she picked it out for the view of the marsh and the trees. Her burial urn was a beautiful green oriental design - very Carol.
She was indeed a special person to all of us.
We miss her so very much.

Thanks so much, Dolores, for posting your comments and the beautiful photographs.
I still don't have many words to convey my feeings on the large loss this has been. She was like an older, wiser, sister to me. I know we are all experiencing difficulties especially at this time of year, when we would have been celebrating the holidays, which she loved so much, with her.
In any case, thanks so much Dolores....and I am thinking of all of you-
love, leslie
