And God said to Benjamin: Beginnings and endings are earthly ideas. I go on. And because I go on, you go on with me. Feeling loss is part of why you are on Earth. Through it, you appreciate the brief gift of human existence, and you learn to cherish the world I created for you. But the human form is not permanent. It was never meant to be. That gift belongs to the soul. “I know the tears you shed, When people leave this Earth, their loved ones always weep.” God smiled. “But I promise you, those who leave do not.

Aunt Carol was the epitome of grace and beauty.  She and Uncle Danny raised a beautiful family of loving and caring McCarthys who always enjoy a good laugh and a good get together.  We wish you all the comfort that your wonderful memories will bring you always.

I am so sorry I won’t be at the funeral.  Carol and I had a special bond, probably cause she saw Joey and I were happy together. She and Joey laughed often, shared stories and had a great history. Saying goodbye to your mom is sad. I’ll miss my sister in law, the matriarch of a big beautiful family. Rest in peace sister in law as now you’re with the love of your life. 

She would never miss Sean playing Carnegie Hall

My 50th- the sweet memories from the amazing days at the beach house.  So many laughs !

Time flies for everyone, another fun visit 

Could not be a happier day with my closest fans 

 Carol,
 Thank you, for always being there for John and myself when we were in need’.  I appreciated all the help and confidence you  and yours had in us.  God bless you and keep you.
Your loving sister-in-law, Lynn
                                                                                                    

I will always remember Carol’s smiling face and sweet voice.  She loved God and her family.  Rest in peace, beautiful soul.

     My thoughts and prayers are with your family.  As I looked through your family pictures I can  see an expression of great love … may this love keep you in the days ahead.
Most sincerely, 
Lorraine 

I will always treasure my friendship with Carol. I have such fond memories of our times together.  We often went to the movies or grabbed at bit at the local dinner or talked about books we enjoyed. And we always enjoyed a good laugh.  I will miss her. 

It is overwhelming scanning through pictures of you and the
family.  Like the movie....you had a "Wonderful Life" and now
you can be with the LOVE of your life Carol.  OH! how I
admired you so....LOVE, Peggy
