Carol passed in peace Friday September 3, 2010 after battling cancer and is resting in a happier place. Carol was born and raised in
The family has asked for donations in lieu of flowers, be sent in Carol’s name to Georgeson House at Avow Hospice,
Carol has requested each of those who knew her celebrate her life in their own way in lieu of any type of bereavement service. Any one who knew her will understand her request. They understand her zest for life; happiness and her dedication to enjoy her friends and family were her real mission in life. We will all miss her.
Remembered Joy
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all...
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss...
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.
My life's been full, I've savoured much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief—
Don't shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.

Hard to believe it has been 11 years. Honestly, it seems a short time ago that we all celebrated together for ANY reason. So many happy times because of YOU. There are occasions that make me think of you and the family. They are blessed with having an angel like you watching over them.
God Bless you my friend.

Love,
Linda and Dwight Clark and family.
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun, of happy memories that I leave behind when day is done.
Love and miss you always,
Dwight and Linda Clark and family.
Wishing you a happy heavenly birthday. Know that we all miss you very much. Such a wonderful lady taken too soon. Love you always.

One of Mom B's best traits was a positive attitude or in adversity a positive outlook. The glass was more than half full at all times and many times full of Chardonnay. Fun, zest for life, travel, friends and family would top the list of agenda items. Life experiences are better shared and if you do not have someone to share them with get off your butt and find someone. Do not take yourself to serious because serious is the antithesis of fun; laugh. Adventure is in your mind and what makes things fun and interesting: live. Passion family and faith were the two most important items above all; love.
May the void of a loved one be replaced by a positive moment of reflection knowing the outcome has been life-changingly good!
I hope today was better than yesterday and tomorrow is better than today!
Love, Sue Cantatore

Everything Mom
Everything Mom
You’re an Irreplaceable part of who I am
You have taught me wrong from right
You have picked up the pieces when I have fallen
You have bitten your tongue even thought it hurts
To let me be my own person
To learn in my own way
The things you have taught me, too many to say
Your have always been a peace maker in your very own special way
You have taught me joy, love and pain
You have even cheered me on standing in the rain
We have seen some amazing places a journey our whole life through
My constant quest for adventure, I owe it all to you
I have stumbled and fallen many times
To your knowledge I have not committed any crimes
All the heart ache, tears and pain have created an unbreakable bond
The memories we have made together will live forever and beyond
There is no replacing your love
Your lessons continue from above
Compassion and wisdom always showing through
I am proud of everything you’ve been able to do
I could not have asked for a better friend and parent
Your love and devotion so inherent
It amazes me how much you knew
You were always there to see thing through
The way you conducted yourself with grace and class
Even when I was a total pain in your ass
I know that you have ventured on
So many fond memories you’ve passed on
Your legacy of mischievous fun will be our bond
Our family understands why you had to abscond
As we both start our new adventure we will always have each other
You know Dad will do a great job to fill the void of you our mother
I know you will always be cheering me on in whatever I do
You will make our wishes always come true
I wish you a world of happiness, peace, joy and love
With God and the rest of your motley clan above
You have been everything to us and have shown us the way
I raise my glass to you mom and will love you each and every day
Your Son
My Best Girlfriend
September of 1973 was a special time for me. My children both attended Masonridge Elementary School. After dropping them at the door for their first day of school, I met another Mother that had dropped off her daughter. She introduced herself as Carol Boland. We became fast friends and for fourteen years enjoyed a friendship that few people have in a lifetime. Never a day went by while we were in St. Louis that we did not talk to one another.
Carol taught me so many lessons--great and small. I learned to macrame, find great pottery, enjoy art(photography), plant daffidils, entertain, cook, water ski(sort of) and throw a great party. We shared being Brownie and Girl Scout leaders, being room Mothers, Adventure Club and our great dinners held in our backyards. We loved our trips to Sanabel and Keystone. The Bolands exposed us to "The Lake" and many wonderful, happy experiences(too numerous to mention) were shared by the McCarthys and others. "Partytime" grew out of our need to see each other and became the dreaded word for our friends. Carol taught me to be patient, to laugh alot at myself, to love life and to be tough.
We grew up with our kids as we hauled them to Queeny Park for night time cross-crountry skiing and bike rides to Dunkin Donuts on Sunday mornings. We once went for a walk on Mason Road, got lost, and got home five hours later. We talked the whole walk.
Our lives took us away from each other but I always thought we would meet again--maybe in a nursing home where we would hug and start planning another escapede.
You left too early, my sweet friend. I feel such sadness for all of us, as you were so loved. Maybe I will be lucky enough to see your smile and hear your laugh in the distant future. The world has lost a great gal, wonderful wife, super Mom, Grandmother, and friend.
Sweet Dreams,
Cathie
P.S. You looked splendid in the big white hat
