A LOVING TRIBUTE

TO OUR DEAR FRIEND

CPP (CAROL)

The music playing is "Wind Beneath My Wings"...

Carol, "Did you ever know that you're my hero?"

I have just sat here and read all of the wonderful things said and felt for Carol. And easily agreed with every single one of them. And yet I kept noticing over and over and over how special not only was Cpp to us all but amazingly how she made each and every one of us feel special to her too. That was her heart... Like alot of you she was the first person I met when i opened my chat the first time and she left even then an indelible impression. Admiration and affection grew every day for her..and I consider myself blessed to have known her...oh yes she is one of those souls you never forget. I called her in the hospital last week and we chatted and laughed for a good while. She was telling me how very much all the email touched her....she was very happy to have it...and commented then on her love of us all....she was also planning to the last a table dance w tassles....what a spirit!...what a heart...what a soul...it is said ...."God gives us Love, Something to Love, he lends us" ......well he did himself proud lending us all Carol...she touched SO many lives....for him... ((G'nite C)) .....I Love you Lady....Love,

Piff

Like so many of you, CPP was the first to talk to me, my first time in a chat room. She was always friendly, no matter how she felt. She was fun-loving, sincere, and honest. And I liked her also because she did not judge people. She was my friend, and I will truly miss her. But I know, if Heaven has a chat room....she will be there, making everyone smile!!! May God grant peace to her family and friends. CPP, you were truly loved!!! Love.....

This is a very sad time for all of us... I would like to say a few things...               When our "Gert" passed, it was extremely hard on myself and a lot of others.. my heart was broken... I told myself that I would never go to another gathering or get close to anyone else online again.. EVER... it hurt so badly!! I never knew that I could feel that way about my online friends... I was one of the fortunate ones that had the pleasure of meeting Gert in person... I still light a candle every saturday nite for her and our other chatters that have moved on... and I will continue to do so...   I have learned an important lesson in life from Gert, Liken, CPP, and from our friends that are extremely ill... and it goes back to the saying "It is Better To Have Loved and Lost, Than Not Have Loved At All"... I never thought about it before... but this lesson is the one that is getting me thru our loss now and will continue to get me thru in the future... Carol was the first person that I received an email from when I first got my web.. the first thing I did was go to "search" and "chat" and I typed in "grandparents"... I was going to be a first time grandma in a few months... People were very nice and just chatting away... but they were using these kinda things... :-)   (((( CPP )))) LOL   ROFL etc.... I didn't have a clue what they meant... the next thing I know my little red lite came on... My very FIRST email... it was from Carol.. she sent me a list of the "emoticons"... and from there.... a wonderful & cherished friendship immersed... This loss is deep... very deep and it hurts... but so was the love... it was deep... very deep... and it was treasured.. Carol and Gert are watching us... let's make them proud...God Bless You All ~

A precious friend to all

She loved each of us oh so much

Many tears for her do fall.

Never an inind word was read

From her keyboard flowed such love

So now my Friend

Rest in HIs Arms above.

Marilyn © 2-26-02 Aka Gramma-jamma Aka CCChandler She was and always will be a person I want to be like. I teased her always calling her CCP and I am going to miss her. I know she is in no more pain and will have no more sorrow and is in one of those many mansions hrist promised us but my heart is aching for her family and for allof us who knew her in GP. Don't forget to tell your familyand friends you love them. TALK TO JESUS! HE STILL CARES!

Marilyn Aka Gramma-jamma Aka CCChandler

Due to so much going on in my life the last few days, I haven't had the chance to be on here much. I was so very sorry to hear of yet another loss of our "internet family". We have some really wonderful ANGELS watching over us. I'm sure they're all having a great HOMECOMING party. Can just hear them now. Carol will be sorely missed. My thoughts & prayers are with her family & friends & our family. GOD BLESS ALL.

I don't come in the chat room much anymore, but 4 years ago I was one of the "old time" regulars. I'd hurry home from work, forget the dishes, forget the vacuuming.... I had to run to my computer to find out what was going on in the GP room. cpp was ALWAYS there! She'd let me know what I had missed while I was at work. As many have said, Carol was one of the first friends I made in the room. I have to tell you a story not many know. My dad came to live with us shortly after I started going to the GP room. He's a little older than Carol and we'd joke that she would marry my dad and they'd share his bedroom here. The next year I bought my dad a web-tv and got him to come in the room to "meet" Carol! A few days before they "met" she confided that she was really nervous about this. It was almost like a blind date. For all the "bold" talk about meeting my dad, when it came right down to it, she was actually nervous about it! Carol brought me many laughs, many joys and now sorrow that she's no longer there to ask me "How's Dad?". Someday Carol and Dad will really meet and I hope he can handle her! The chat room will never be the same for me! Goodbye my Yellow Rose!

CPP, three letters that always brought a smile when they appeared in p-g room, or in email. Truly a good friend, and how she loved her children and family... I will miss our "whispers" and heart to heart emails, Carol. Most of all, I will miss you. There is an emptiness in the world that was not there before. Dan and I extend our sympathy to your family as they work through their pain at this loss. Your cyber family is visibly grieving also. May God Bless Us All. love,

meg and dan (ShastaD and Skiblow)

i would like to say good-bye to cpp.i never got to know her as much as i would have liked--but this i knew of her great sense of humor-and compatibility for others--yes-and how she would talk of her marines--God bless cpp and rest easy--

One of the first people I ever met when I came into the GP room a few years ago was CPP.  She made sure that I felt welcome and not out of place.  Thank heaven cause at the time I was going through a very difficult time in my life.  She was like a God send to me.  I know that I will miss her dearly.  Even tho I don't go into the GP room very often anymore, I know that when I do, CPP will be there in spirit.  So long, my friend.....you will be missed.

Merrianne (Dove)

we would like to say she is going to be missed, our prayers arewith her and family, thank you

My memories.... I only chatted in the P-Gp room for a short time, but I maintained my friendship with CPP for the next four years. As with many of you, she was one of the first to really welcome me to the room. I had her on my Cat People list and always sent her my cat pic or story of the day. She and my husband Mike, both "ornery" by nature, would compare cat recipes!!! Mother Earth, Father Sky...welcome our sister.

I met Cpp when I first came on line...We hit it off almost immediately....Cpp, Mcfarl and I.....and sometimes even CPP-JR would romp and play around the room..You people on web TV could do an upside down letter that I could not do...Every time I would try it all I got was  plink  plink  plink  plink  ...Well I would tell that to cpp and McFarl, and they would be rolling on the floor laughing...Cpp was special...I shared laughter with her, and sadness as well...My son Alex also loved her...Cpp called him our boy...She would have me chase him around the room to give him a wet Willie from her....He would go..oh gross...and I would tell cpp..she again would laugh and laugh...Cpp`s daughter and I became friends through all this...I   called Cpp Mom...and CPP-JR was my sis...I just recently went back to school to become a nurse...Cpp would say...when you are done...you can come and take care of me....It would have been my pleasure to take care of that wonderful woman....She made so many of us smile...and made the day a brighter place....I am sitting here and the tears are falling down my cheeks...I loved cpp dearly, and I will miss her...All my prayers and thoughts go out to her children....The loss of a loved one is not an easy thing...Carol...as you are looking down from the Heavens....know you were loved my friend...and will be sorely missed...Good bye  my Dear Friend...((((((((( CPP )))))))))

I havent been online in quite awhile and just now am sitting here reading all these emails about CPP, I am numb right now, i feel bad that i havent been in to chat with her or any of the other wonderful "parents" and "grandparents" i aquired when i used to visit your room. Some of You who remember me, may also remember my friend , Blake (buckethead) who lived with us for awhile. He and CPP had a special bond and he asks me about her whenever we speak on the phone. I'm trying to figure out how im going to tell him this sad news. She was very kind to him and made him feel special when his own parents couldnt be bothered. Thats how she made everyone feel, when you chatted with her, you were the most important person in her world at that moment. Its a rare gift she had to be able to touch so many people so deeply. I will never forget her, or any of the wonderful friends i made here. love always,

rocky

I didn't know you'd gone away

I didn't have the chance to say

Goodbye dear friend I'll miss you so

More than you will ever know

You kept in touch you were my friend

I hoped that it would never end

We never met I'm sorry to say

Maybe we will talk again someday

Until then goodbye my friend

I'll treasure you right too the end

This much loved and respected woman brought  a wonderful childhood friend of mine into the world and my life.  My most sincere condolences to her family.

Elaine (FrndNme)

I have been sitting here the last few days thinking and not knowing what I really wanted to say about Carol.  My heart is heavy and my only comfort is that she is now without pain.  Carol was one of the first people I met in the grandparenting room and most likely the reason I kept coming back at first.  I know I don't go into the chat room now and it is not because I don't love you incredible people but I barely have time to be online ever anymore.  So without further words and because I am at a loss for them I would like to say simply, thank you Carol for making the world a better place.   Your friend,p Diana (loudicosta)

Sorry to be so late in adding my condolences to CPP's family and friends. I have not been in GP room all that long but CPP always spoke when I came into the room. She was always sincerely interested in other peoples troubles. I will miss her! I recently lost my brother to cancer and said I felt better that he is no longer suffering and is with our Lord and savior! I feel the same for CPP. It is awfully hard to "let go" but we must move on with the rest of our lives as are departed friends and relatives would want us to do!

carol was the first person whom i chatted with on the internet, she made me laugh and was a wonderful person...she was caring and loving...we would always kid each other about taking a trip to tahiti or fiji islands...i will miss the most wonderful person who i have had the pleasure to meet...CPP.

stuart (pm645)

It's with much thought and wonderment I say so-long to "Carol"... There wasn't a week that hardly passed that I didn't send her a cute note or joke or saying... She loved each one and 'always' e-mailed it so... Three short years to know a true blessing from above... Now he's taken her back... He must have needed her more than "ME"... More than any of us... Liken, was the first to ever invite me in, Carol was there with encouragement... Gert was the "bet you can" ... God must have needed them all more than us... I am so blessed to have even been a small part of any of their lifes... Thank-you and God bless you MelloMarsha to do this for all of us... ((((((((((((hUgS)))))))))))))))

I met Carol through one of the GP regulars (Crittersnsuch) whom I had been corresponding with, already, by E-mail; as with all of you it was attraction at first E.
She, immediately, wanted me to become a GPer. I pointed out my lack of qualifications; I'm old enough but a life-long bachelor with no children. Her reply was, "so what- they're a great group and you'll have a blast."
Well, because of technical snafus I tried but was never successfully able to stay online when entering the room.
Yet, my friendship with Carol continued through numerous and wonderful E-mail exchanges over the past few years.
I heard of her death on the day that it occured. I am glad that now I can express my feelings in this forum.
I feel humbled. By trade, I am a writer but anything that I can compose cannot show greater love and feeling that so many of you have showed this remarkable lady; yet, I'll try.
Carol's illness had just recently set in when we met yet she displayed that upbeat attitude, with me, that you all have seen. I told her my story and she showed much more concern for me than many that I've known for years.
Conversely, I had to ask how she was doing to get her to speak of her condition.
Yet, she would in that manner of it just being another little hurdle of life and nothing to sweat.
She, I think, always was accepting of her fate and never in denial. Yet, she faced it with the best possible attitude.
I hope, in an innocent way, I'm well-known to my female E PALS as quite the flirt. Carol would go stride for stride with me in that category.
Many of you know her as the Yellow Rose Of Texas which she certainly was. Yet, to me she was Texy and she called me Stud. Trust me on this, she was much more Texy than I Stud.
So,obviously, her sense of humor was always front and center. As her days grew shorter the E-mails became less yet never ceased until the last few days. Always the humor remained.
Because of her frequent 'refills' and hospital stays I thought she'd bounce back as she always had because she would assure me that she would.
  I was one of the priveleged that had her phone number and I would surprise her, on occasion, with a call. It was therapy for both of us each time.
I have read of those GP regulars that had departed before her. She cried for each loss as if a family member and would say to me, "too bad that you didn't know him/her."
Well, I see that many tears have been shed for her as it should have been. No doubt that she'd be a bit embarrased but most grateful. I need not tell you this but she treasured her years in that chat room.
As for me, I treasured my years knowing Carol. Though not a member of the GP room I wanted to give an 'outsiders' view of a special friend.

Carol...always told me I would be late for my own funeral...lol. I always seemed to be the last to know about everything.Like this tribute page for instance! I can hear her laughing now...any way I did it again Carol...so here is a little message to you...short and simple....
I loved the talks we had...they were there at a time when I needed them badly.You were a special friend and lady in my life. You always will be and you know it! See you one of these days Carol....I'll let you keep my song by the way...lol

Daddio, Weaverman and Ray......
God bless you!

It has been MY pleasure in creating this special page for CPP.... The BEAUTY of Carol shines through these pages through the words of her friends.... Actually, I didn't know Carol very well... I have chatted with her some times over the past 4 years but really didn't know her... But this is what I did see of her.....

C

stood for CARING... She always cared for everyone that came into the room.....

P

stood for PERSONABLE... Carol always seemed to get along with everyone and that is why she has so many friends...

P

stood for PRECIOUS... Her time here on earth was precious, to her family and all of her friends....

And that is what

CPP

really stood for... {{{CPP}}} Type to you later, CPP.....

MelloMarsha

Good Night CPP... Sleep tight and get some rest now... ((((((CPP)))))) We all love you and miss you...
