I miss you so much mom. My heart is hurting today missing you. I feel I let you down. Your house is gone but your gazebo still stands tall.

Last week was the first time I went up to the house since the kids sorted pictures. Julie is checking the house, shoveled and over all keeping things alive there ( except for the mouse Suzi & Julie found in the fuse box.) Terry replaced the fuse box. :-)
I miss going up there. It was hard being there without you. 
I miss you.

Thought of you today and miss you.... Love you, Julie

You are truly missed Carol.  I always 
checked your house on my way to Bann's. 
Living in AZ is different than being in Lake Minnewawa.

Mom, today is your birthday and this is a wonderful place to say you are deeply missed.  I have thought of you often and want so much to call, hear your voice and wish you a happy birthday.  I am going home next week thru August and I expect sit with my feet up in the Gazebo and enjoy watching the mosquitoes try to get in and make lunch of me. I will also, no doubt, be whipping Julie and Todd's butt at bingo on the occasional Sunday's.  Until we meet again you are forever in my heart... your loving daughter.

I still miss not seeing Carol sitting in her spot at Banns.

Mom, I am sure you will be happy to know we are keeping up the house and the kids love the gazebo. I get up to play bingo when I get a chance and you are truely missed. Your birthday is coming up and I am sure you will have a party and skol on that special day! Love you....

although I've had a stroke, I still miss 
seeing Carol at Bingo at Bann's.  not the
same without her.

Every time I see the Vikings, I think of Carol wearing all her Vikings gear and yelling at the TV.

Miss you yelling at the Vikings! I bet you have front row seats where you are now. Love you grandma.

This is the day Mom changed her address.  I miss her dearly and wish I could hear her voice again.

I miss Carol .Every Friday at Banns meat raffle.And every Friday morning at the beauty shop.

It will be a year tomorrow since you left us. I miss you Mommy.... Julie

I am sure Minnewawa area will be much changed when I get back in April.  I'll sure miss seeing Carol and playing Bocce with her.

To all of you that made this, Mother's passing a little brighter, easier and heartfelt...  You are all so very appreciated, loved and thoughtful. To know Mom had such wonderful friends from most recent to many, many years past is truly a comfort. From neighbor's, friends in McGregor and the wonderful people at Bann's, who looked in on her regularly, I cannot say 'thank you' enough.

We are very sorry to read that Carol has left us.  She has joined Gil and is having a party.  Paul was stopped in to see her on Oct 26th.  She was always a lot of fun to be around.  May she rest in peace.

Carol you will be missed so much.  I spent so much time with you when I was younger.  You were a second Mom to me.  Tell my mom hello for me.  All my love to the whole family.  All I can recommend is to remember all the fun times Carol gave us all.

Carol's service yesterday was very nice. I wish I would have had the nerve to get up and say thank you to Carol for all the years she took such good care of my dad, Sparky. She had a lot of zest for life, I can't even imagine what she must have been like when she was younger. My prayers are with Carol's family and everyone that cared about her.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness that we feel. Jack has known Carol his entire life and loved her dearly.  I have only gotten to know Carol well in the last ten years since acquiring a vacation spot in McGregor, but loved her from day one.  We went four-wheeling together several times and had so much fun laughing; her smile...so contagious.  Carol has such a wonderful deeply caring family and so many friends.  She leaves with all of us many fond memories; may the peace which comes from those memories comfort us all.  Whoever wrote "A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best", must have known Carol well!

So sorry for your loss.  Thinking of you always.

Carol will be missed, she was a great gal, had more get up and go than anyone I know I'll miss not seeing her at Bann's or the horseshoe.

Thank you for opening your heart and family to me and my children. I love you. I'll miss you terribly.

It's hard to believe "Auntie Cator" is gone. Her sense of humor and love of life will leave a tremendous void for all who knew her.  So many of my childhood memories include the "Tveits". I learned the hula
hoop in her driveway! I am so sorry for all of you.

I was so saddened to hear of Carol's passing.  I was fortunate to have a great conversation with her on 10-24.  She was so much fun to be around, a good Bocce Ball partner.  I'll miss having her visit on her 4 wheeler.
  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and, of course, with Carol too.
  Marolyn Martinson

CAROL WILL BE MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HER.
CHRIS AND MARGE STAUFFENEKER

We are sorry to hear of Aunt Carol's passing.  CJ, Terry, Tom, Suzie, Julie & Todd you all are in our thoughts.  Aunt Carol was always very special to me.  Love you all.  Melinda & Lon

I was so sorry to learn of your loss and the passing of a great lady. Carol and Gil were wonderful neighbors and friends. I'll get one less card for Christmas and my birthday as Carol never forgot. But, as I look at this photo I can hear her voice about to make one of us laugh. My caring thoughts and love are with each of you.  Ginny
