My Dear Friend
I know this love story was a short and sweet one, but I also know it was filled with pure love and committment for each other. I am glad that they knew this love before one half of this wonderful couple was taken away. I know Irven will always remain in Carols heart, because that is where he lives now. I am glad they got to see that the love they had all these years for one another was meant to be and the love they shared will help her now get through the times. Love you dear friend.
