Thank you Carol for taking me in as your own when I was a fifteen year old kid, new to Lyndhurst, feeling like a fish out of water. You fed me and I've enjoyed our late night chats over coffee. We had our differences but you've reminded me along the way I was part of your family and I will always be grateful. Thank you for providing me a home away from home. You took care of me in ways, and at times, you probably didn't realize. Rest in peace. I will always remember you and have a special place for you in my heart.

Love,

Tina L.

through my 20 years of living and seeing you constantly I can seem to face the fact that you are gone now walking into life with you and sharing the memories we had made life a whole lot easier...you were my second mom my whole life and I cherished the bond that we had. From the car you lent me when I did not have one to us trying to prefect the poor mans food called hotdogs, peppers and onions. I love you with all my heart and soul and will miss you to no on I wish I could just say I love you one more time Gram.

Love Gio, <3

Mom,

I don't know where to begin to tell you how much I'm going to miss you and be lost without you. As tears flow down my face, I will never forget how much you loved me. You were my biggest fan and loved me no matter what. I will miss our private and funny conversation over coffee, to the many I love you's, hugs and kisses we shared with each other. I will miss the love you always showed my children and how much of an amazing and caring Grandmother you were to them. They loved you so very much. Please know you will always be our hearts forever. I Love You Mom

Thank you Carol for taking me in as your own when I was a fifteen year old kid, new to Lyndhurst, feeling like a fish out of water, angry at my parents for relocating me from Jersey City to a suburb I never heard of. You fed me, we smoked alot of cigarettes together and had a lot of late night chats over coffee. We had our differences but you reminded me to not take crap from anyone and who gives a rat ass what anyone else thinks. I'll always be grateful for that. Thank you for providing me a home away from home and a second family. Rest in peace my friend.

Nini, Lindy, Jamie, Jason, and Chris- you are all like a second family to me. My youth spent at your house in Lyndhurst will be in my memory forever. More importantly, Carol, and her love, kindness, and unforgettable laugh, will be there too. Thanks for sharing her with me-

Love, Rob

Carol,

You were my older cousin by only a few years. We didn’t see each other often, but when we did we always had a few laughs. I remember when you first got your license you came and picked me up and took me to McDonalds on Washington Avenue. I thought that was such a big deal because it was the very first one in our area way back then.

You went from being an only child to creating a large wonderful family and were blessed with many grandchildren. What a beautiful Legacy! Rest in Peace cousin…

Although we haven’t seen each other in a long time, it doesn’t diminish the significance of your presence in our lives while we were growing up. It was so much fun when Uncle Charlie, Aunt Dolly and you would come over to play cards and eat sandwiches. We had so much fun as little girls with all our cousins being together. May your children and grandchildren find love and support for each other during this very difficult time. My deepest sympathy to all of you who will hold Carol Ann in your heart forever.

Mom,

I’m having a hard time believing you’re gone. I’m waiting for you to call us and tell us what you made for dinner. I miss you calling 10 times in an evening. Most importantly the love you had for your family I will miss the most. You treated me like a son from day one 18 years ago. It has been an honor to call you my family.

You will never be forgotten

Your son, Edwin.

The staff of MacFadden Funeral Home extend our deepest condolences to you and your family on the passing of your loved one. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy for your loss. May our thoughts and prayers provide comfort for your family during this difficult time.
