Dearest Beverage Family,It is with a heavy heart that we are wishing you condolences on your sweet mother's death. It isn't until after someone is gone a person realizes how precious each moment is. We were neighbors for the past 10 years until we moved last December. My daughter was not even one when we moved in, and right away, Carol became an instant grandmother figure. She loved to chat, from the weather, politics, but most of all she gleamed when she spoke of all of you, which was in almost every conversation! If you all would have know the things she did around the house she didn't want you knowing she was doing!!! I remember her saying, "My kids don't think I should be doing this...but I have done all these things all my life and I'm not stopping now!" She was always so kind and giving...cucumbers to Christmas cookies (how we have/will miss the garden extras and cookies!) I was always confident she would be watching my kids and wouldn't let any harm come to them - it made me feel safe living on 46. The earth has one less beautiful person inside and out, but at least from Heaven she will be able to watch over all of you at one time! Our prayers and thoughts are with your family!The Lakers - Gerald, Jenny, Kylie, Carson & Caleb
