It is with deep sadness that I write my beloved wife Carole passed away on May 13, 2010. She left behind so many people who loved her, and our sorrow is only tempered by the love she gave during her short time with us.

A celebration of Carole’s life will be held 1pm Friday May 21, at Holman’s Funeral Service at 2610 SE Hawthorne Boulevard in Portland, Oregon. A reception will follow at the Corbett Fire Station’s Community Hall, which is near where Carole lived in Corbett.

We’ve set up this site to allow people to share their thoughts about Carole, communicate with each other, coordinate travel arrangements, and help Carole’s extended family and friends find some comfort in this sad time.

I would prefer that details about Carole’s death not be discussed on this blog – I can help provide that information to friends in a more personal way. Instead, I’d like to begin the celebration of her life in these pages.

Carole, I loved you so much, and I’m grateful for every moment we had together. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for being my wife, and the mother to Noah, Billie, and Echo. We’ll be strong, and honour you in our hearts forever.

With undying love,
Daniel
