I am so busy today. I said something (I have had over 80 emails today, and most of them have to be answered). I saw every one of the photos of Carole, Lee, her two children, and her grandchildren all over again -- I am never tired of those photos. I knew Carole (and her children) for at least 25 years. I Knew her children, who adored her. She was as beautiful inside as she was outside. 

my dearest and beautiful friend.......to this day, i feel like i just say you yesterday.....you are thought of 24/7.   your smile and friendship was a joy to me always.  i will treasure always our bonded friendship.  i knew you for a great many years and still feel that warmth and kindness that exuded from you whenever i was around you.  the sadness i feel when i think i am going to call you and then realize i cannot is powerful.  you are so missed and loved and the feeling cannot be put into words......will always love you.

Carole, please forgive me as today is the 12th of November. I am 'late' by two days but the truth is that you are with me always....regardless of the day, the hour, the month. I talk to you quite often and can hear your voice as clearly as it was not too long ago. There will never be 'another you' but please know that I miss you and hope you are in a peaceful place. Sending you my love always and forever.
Merry

Carole, it is hard to believe that you are gone from this earth two years today. Perhaps it is because you are with me every day and in my thoughts all the time. I speak to you and hope you hear me that you are/were so very special -- so good and so beautiful and so giving. Your children are a beautiful reflection of you. And we all miss you every day and every second of our lives. I love and miss you.
