Our sincere sympathy to her family , a fine lady God bless Ernie & Tish Lahey
Dear Denise, Neil, Karen, Craig, Aunt Mary, Iris, and Arlene, and the extended family who loved Carol so dearly. I will always remember Carol throughout my childhood and a supporter in my adult life as a gentle soul who loved life, especially her family. Carol’s playful and magnetic spirit made her so fun to be around! Always with a smile and a hug, I will hold my many memories of Carol, from days at Sandy beach, Backshore, and Scaterie as a child, to recent years with our own children – these moments brought such joy to Carol and her whole family. Carol was like a second mom to Nicole and I growing up, as we spent equal times between houses, but rarely apart from Denise during the summer months. These years formed a bond so strong and Denise will always be like a sister to me. Thank you for welcoming us into your family, we treasure our memories with you, and will miss you forever, Carol. So much love to everyone, and see you all very soon. Love Shelley XOXO
