I loved Macie so much. Her passing leaves a big hole in my heart. I was not a very good friend because we did not get in touch often. But…when we did we still finished each others sentences. It was as if we had not been apart one day. My first memory was the Tricia Beldon books. She was Tricia and I was Honey. She instilled in my my love of reading and of reading mysteries. I met you Ren but you were very young and I am so thankful for this web site. Thanx for including me. 

My Dear Sweet Momma Carol, I cannot begin to express the sadness in my heart. I have loved every moment that I was blessed to spend with you and feel so grateful that I knew you. You may not espouse to any religion but you lived by the greatest religion of all which is Kindness and Love. In all the years I was around you I never heard you speak ill of anyone but you always lead with the greatest compassion, kindness and love. You walked your life with such grace and peace and carried yourself with a knowingness and wisdom. I just can't believe this is really happening and that I'm not going to be having a dinner, going to some exciting event, playing cards, or just taking a walk with you, or laughing about something! I will always carry you with me and will find you in all the things that you so appreciated and loved. You had a zest for life and knowledge. I will find you in the songbirds, the whisper of the wind, the beauty of a flower, and the kisses of the bubba's. They too will miss you sooo much as they always got excited when we said Grandmas' coming over. You are so dearly loved and I cherish you with every ounce of my heart. I will feel you and find you forever.  Love you, Michelle 

I'm Marcia Blain from Council Bluffs,  Iowa.   We met Carol when she joined our card club.  She never failed to entertain us with her sense of humor and adventure.   She told the best stories.  She was a wonderful cook and we were always glad to have cards at her house because we would be treated to amazing food.  So kind. So interested in so many things.  We'll never have a friend quite like her again.  God bless you, Ren, and all your family and friends.   We'll pray for you and remember Carol in the beautiful things in nature.

I am heartbroken at the loss of my friend, confidant, adopted mom, adopted grandma to my kids, and so much more.  She was Louise to my Thelma, we had soooo many plans.   She loved reading, cards, learning new things, her friends, nature, the list goes on and on.  The world is a little dimmer without her bright soul here but even as the tears fall, I know her spirit will always be with us. Rest in peace my friend.❤️. Jan
