Our Dear Sister Carol

Spencer's very sweet sister in law lost her battle to Cancer on August 22, 2012.  It has been a very sad and hard time and that was another reason I have not blogged in awhile.  She was such a sweet person that loved and cared for everyone.  It's so hard to lose any loved one but the fact that she was only 48 makes it very hard.  She was married to Spencer's oldest brother Craig.  Right after we got married we moved up to Utah for Spencer to complete his bachelors degree and their family also moved up to Utah at that time so we were able to visit with them at the holidays that we were up there for and on some other special family occasions.  Also I'm so happy that we were able to see them on there last visit to California last summer and she was able to meet Aubrey and Carter.  I stayed in touch with her through e-mails and Facebook and I feel honored to have known her.  She was so sweet and loved life.  Even after finding out she had cancer and had only a short time to live she made the best of it and continued to send us sweet messages.  Spencer and all his other California siblings and parents were able to make it to Utah for the funeral and said that it was beautiful and a wonderful tribute to her life.  Life is so short we should all slow down and hold our love ones close.  We love you Carol and will miss you deeply.
