There are people who became so important to me over the years that even their passing does not diminish their importance and their presence in my life. Carole is such a person. I think of her often and it feels as though I could write her a note or call her to discuss the latest event in her life or mine. I miss her, of course, but my memory of her is very strong and always will be.  

Carole was my best friend growing up together in Lee, Massachusetts. We stayed close over the years, even though we were separated by at least one continent most of the time.  Naturally I followed her literary career, but also her family "career".  Many years ago she, Arthur and Brendan (a youngster at the time)  visited San Diego, and we spent many hours at lunch reminiscing about old times and looking forward to the years of life to come.  I don't believe I had ever seen Carole happier than she was that day, surrounded by her family, and catching up with an old friend.  As we consider her passing now, we can either cry that she is gone, or we can smile that she was here with us.  Whenever I think of Carole, I shall smile.

Rest in peace, my dear friend.

Ed
