Today marks two years since the passing of our friend Carol. I still think about her a lot, no matter what topic we discuss in the forum, as if she were still a very active presence among us.
I was just thinking about C55 yesterday as I’d been thinking that it’s not too long until March 18th, which is a significant date according to Mirjana in Medjugorje. I was wondering what C55 would make of current crazy events and also Pope Francis’ illness. I said a prayer for her. Thankyou so much for the reminder that it’s her anniversary.
I sometimes wonder during discussions; what our friend Carol would think of this, or that topic. She certainly made an impact on many members of this forum, me included.
Prayers for Carol. She always seemed so alive and interested on the forum, as though she were right beside me. Hard to believe she has gone to Eternity. Much missed, a lovely woman.
She came very strongly to mind during my Holy Hour two days ago. I prayed for her and Rick Nunnelly and Muzhik and Luke and Tracy Worrell. Friends who have gone ahead. Carol was very good at putting things together and analyzing. And she was always very charitable. Eternal rest grant unto all these Oh Lord. Let Perpetual Light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
I remember telling Caroline that she had a mind like a steel trap and to slow down a bit so I could keep up with her. I found out her work life included being a teacher of computer sciences at a local college. Her mind was an encyclopedia of information. I miss her very much.
A great void was felt in the forum as early as the first two months of 2023 because @Muzhik passed away on Christmas of the previous year, and less than two months later, Carol left us. It is wonderful that, with the advancement of global technology over the years, we have been granted the grace to meet wonderful people who were already a light to their families and closest friends but who also became instruments of God—a living testimony of kindness and the genuine daily practice of the Gospel. When many of us depart—and only God knows the time for each one—we will leave a part of ourselves eternally preserved in the posts on this forum.
