Condolences for
Carol Price (McCann)

Although I didnt get to spend a lot of time with Aunt Carol, she left a lasting memory on me every time I spoke with her. There was a certain undescribable energy with her presence that I can only verbalize as happiness, but is much more than that. Its too difficult to put into words. She always made me laugh always made me feel as part of the family.

If I can share one story about Aunt Carol it was probably four years ago when she came to North Carolina for Brandi's wedding (Aunt Nancy's granddaughter). We both were arriving to the church separtely at the same time (late for me as usual) I got out of the car and saw her. I had not seen here in a couple years but she gave me the biggest smile. She shook her head and said it was like seeing a young Bill Berkowitz (my dad) reincarnated.
This made me so proud and I remember my mom lighting up as well with happiness.

Aunt Carol we miss you! I know your in heaven looking down on us with my father, Aunt Pat, Uncle Fred and all the other members of our family & friends that have passed and miss so much!

aunt carol was vivacious,loving,and expressive in all my memories and time I spent with her. We seen her last when she came to my daughter's wedding back in 2005. I was really looking forward to seeing her at the celebration. It was too sudden for all. Your mom is five years older than me and I remember when we were young your mother and aunt molly would take care of me and my brothers when we would go to grandmom's house. As the years past by aunt Pat got the house down the road and sometimes we were told to not go down there and she would take us anyway. I know she must of thought it was cool being an aunt and only having a couple years on her nieces and nephews. I miss her and know that I will see her again. I pray and have faith in God above that His omnipotence has a greater purpose than this life we know and Aunt Carol's spirit and love is knowing all. I pray for Joe, Joey, Carol and all the grandkids that your pain is overwhelmed by memories of all your time spent as family and by God's love. Aunt Nan is praying for all of you and wanted you to know that she sends her love and misses her sister dearly. Love to all and I know Aunt Carol is now sending her love back to all of us.

Thinking of you and really haven't stopped since this happened. Me & Carol were fortunate to have such a great mom. You stood by our side, especially as little ones, and always made sure we were ok. I miss you a lot, wish I could hug you. The thing I miss the most is not being able to talk to you. You listened and even though you didn't agree a lot, you still listened. Talking, venting, hearing your stories is what I will miss the most. You aren't just my mom, you're my best friend. Don't know who I can lean on in those time that I'm really needing some guidance. Daddy's opened up a little and talks about things a little more. Love you.

Wanted to let you know that Carol gave me your blanket. I will put it on a rack never to be used again. I also took a rose to dry out, your suit you wore on Thanksgiving-- it still smells like you and some goofy lottery #'s you wrote out. Figured they were the #'s you played. I was happy to see you at Carol's. A little surprised but happy none the less. I pray quite often now and hope God hears me and grants me what I ask for. Love you.

Its been a week and I still am in shock about what has happened. I miss you more than you can ever imagine. I feel our family is broken. It's the holiday season and it will be the first without you. It's not fair. I wish I would have had a chance to say goodbye. I know you were hurting, know that you were a lot braver than I or anyone for that matter could be in dealing with the cancer. You are the strongest person I've ever seen deal with a terminal illness. I miss you and cry every day, multiple times a day wishing you were just here to hug. I miss our conversations, your face, your smile, your laugh. I look at pictures of you and it makes me smile and think back. Wish I had more of them. Some things you take for granted and sometimes I feel I did this to you. Forgive me. I always thought you would be here. I denied myself that you were leaving and I didn't prepare myself; now I have to deal with it and figure out a way to get my life back. I can't stand the downtime. The mind does tortuous things to you when it isn't occupied. I love you mommy! I would give up whatever I have just to see you and hug you one more time. Joey
