Rest in peace my friend…until we meet again.
Dearest high school friend and roommate,:
we shared it all,
believed in each other,
Followed our dreams,
And reconnected that love, years later!
You will be dearly missed by many.
Hoping Joe finds peace and happiness in the memories ❤️ we all shared.
Joseph, My Friend …
Love is immortality. Love is one. Love is the whole. Love is an endless sea that you fall into. And once you fall into it, you can’t fall out.
All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Your Carolyn is gone from your sight, but never from your heart. May the cherished memories of your Carolyn, and the love of family, surround you at this time and give you strength in the days ahead.
My thoughts and prayers are with you to assuage the grief of your family – BUT Grief never ends .. it changes .. it’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of Faith – It’s the price of Love ….
Joseph, may the memory of your Carolyn be eternal.
My dear friend since high school! We had so much fun running around in your dad’s Cadillac with the top down and then going to eat the best pizza ever at your dad’s restaurant. The fun time we had, tee peeing some guy’s house on Frank’s Road and getting away without being caught, not to mention running around on prom night. I always enjoyed our lunch outings in recent years as well catching up on all the things going on in our lives. You will be missed immensely my sweet friend. Thoughts and prayers for Joe and all your family. I love you dear Carolyn.
Hey Mary, what a flashback, this is her sister, chrissy she will be immensely miss for sure 😢
Yes, she was one of the good ones, that is for sure!
Joe, we will miss dinners with you and Carolyn and our talks. Never forget her sweet smile and the
great love she had for her family, especially three granddaughters. Special lady.
Joe, I met Carolyn forty years ago when I started working for Dr Flanagan. She was a wonderful gentle woman, always wearing a smile. Prayers and deepest sympathy for you, and your family. Joan Arbuszewski
