Orchard Village Mobile Home Park had lost someone special this morning at 7:05 AM. Her body and soul have returned to our Heavenly Father, her Spirit will ALWAYS be with each of us She's left behind. On August 5th 2015 I left my life, my home, my family in Reno, NV. To begin a new life (Journey) at 52 years old, with my granddaughters Heavenly 7 and Genevieve 5. Our safe stable world was ripped from us quickly. Storz Management gave us the opportunity and courage to move to Ceres CA. We arrive in Orchard Village MHP as a new manager in a community which needed ALLOT of work. Carol was the first to approach us with welcome arms introducing herself and Jim (assistant managers). Carol was very helpful and patient as the world I once knew was gone, were alone, our friends so far away. You were always there to pick us up, brush us off. On my worse days thinking I can't do this you, Carol was there showing me that I can. Always having faith and standing beside me the whole time. Even after all the managers and owners this community had gone through over the years, broken promises and let downs she always had faith and love for the girls and I. On the days when things went so wrong she was there telling me you've been chosen to be here to help all of us, those who do wrong against you will make you stronger, those of us who support you keep your path lit up when it's dark. I still today when having a bad day say those words aloud. Carol Cochran you were my Angel in life, now my Angel in death. Rest in peace my friend. Although you left before I could fulfill my promise to you, I will hold all the faith you have in me and fulfill that PROMISE to you and Jim. And once I do I will frame a copy to display in the office in your memory. Thank you for EVERYTHING you've been a blessing to me. I will always remember you, until we meet again, smile, sing and dance again.
