Dearest friends,

Rob suggested that I touch base with you one last time.  Over the past few weeks, we have been surrounded by Rob and Carol’s immediate family and closest friends.  We have talked about Carol so much, keeping those precious memories in our hearts and minds.

On Friday, June 10, we had a very small, private ‘celebration of life’ service. We enjoyed seeing lots of photos of Carol loving life, heard several of her favorite songs and shared plenty of happy memories, some of which made us cry and others made us laugh. It was a very simple service, just as Carol had requested.

Our plan is still to have a larger service in the future so that more people are able to celebrate her life with us.  If we are able to do that, we will post details on the Caring Bridge website, Facebook and notify several of the local art organizations. 

Many of you have asked about Rob.  Needless to say, he is devastated and heart-broken as he knows that his life will be drastically different without the love of his life by his side.  As I said during the service, it’s hard to turn the page when we know that someone as special as Carol won’t be in the next chapter.  Carol and Rob’s pastor reminded us at the service how blessed we all were that Carol WAS part of our lives and how much she taught us because of the way she lived her life.  We hope that you will cherish the wonderful memories that you have. 

With much love,

Nancy
