Dear Charlene,

Many wonderful memories came rushing back when you asked if I could write something for Carole’s Celebration of Life. Where do I start? So many good times. 

Gramma and Grandpa “Acci” sat at the head of a large and close family and, therefore, one rich in aunts, uncles and, of course, cousins. The cousins divided naturally into the older set and us the “young-ins” … You, me, Nick and Carole.

Whenever the family gathered at any of our homes for birthdays, holidays, and of course Gramma’s and Grandpa’s Sunday afternoon of Italian food, homemade wine, bocce ball, animated discussions and fun for the cousins, our “cousin clan” was a little family subset unto itself. 

Of the many things we did together the game “hide-n-go-seek so reminds me of Carol. I can hear her asking me … “can we play hide-n-go-seek and I’ll be the seeker”! When she found each of us she would laugh the most genuine and beautiful laugh with a big smile on her face. She loved us and loved life, and she rewarded us with her love, smile and laughter.

Carole was the sunshine in our “cousin clan.” God, hold her close forever. She has earned your heavenly reward.

Love, Your Cousin

Rich  
Son of Nora (Antonacci) and Frank Moore, My sister LaNora Rossi, My wife Kathy)
