rest in peace carole

I've never liked funerals, but then again no one does. I haven't been to a funeral in a few years now and today I was. A program I was involved in during high school was run by this woman and she also put me in contact with my current job. And while we weren't incredibly close, she was a teacher in which I learned so much, today was very emotional. It was a combination of the church music but also reflecting on such a great life lost.

Carole gave all of herself to everything she did and she made lives better. She made me a better person, a stronger one. She had a hand in helping me break out of my shell and I just feel so privileged to have known her. She loved completely and gave so much to so many people.

I can remember driving in the car with her and my grandmother on the way to a banquet and Carole was driving. She was driving so fast that she was giving us all anxiety. And driving home from the memorial service today, my grandmother and I talked about. Carole had so much spirit and even as she got sick over the last two years, she was still so lively and still gave so much.

I will never forget all that she has done for me, all that she has given me but mainly the person I became for knowing her. My heart is forever touched.

It also makes me look at my life and realize how blessed I am. Sometimes we take life for granted, I know I do, but I feel so blessed for my friends and family. So many people have such a special place in my heart and they always will.
