Remember when we first met? It was 7th grade at Irvine. I had smoked my very first cigarette with Helen Rowe behind some tall hedges in a yard across the street from the school. Then we went back to the Marlborough group who were sitting in the school field cupping smokes and passing the time. There you were. We had fun. I remember in 8th grade you were living with that guy at his place. Yeah, I felt like a 3rd wheel but it felt good hanging around with you. We lost touch after Irvine. You must have made an impact in people`s lives while you were on this side of eternity cuz I am here 45 years later reminiscing about you. I remember we would sing Sky Pilot and Spill The Wine. When I find my way to my happy place I sometimes remember you and Helen and Danny Gomez and Rick Costello and Gary Gates and find myself wondering where all of this time in between then and now went.

Dear Carole, I can`t believe you are gone. You were my best friend and i will miss you terribly. I`ll never forget the first time i met you at my 13th b day party in my garage in Westminster. You said to me this is a party and from that day on you took me under your wing and treated me like the big sister i never had. My heart is so heavy writing this but i know that you are now in the arms of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and one day we will see each other again. May God bring comfort to your family, especially Jason. Love Always Linda.

Carol we always had so much fun at your house. You will truly be missed! I was looking at your photo thinking about all the fun times we had. It made me cry, that we had lost contact. I will never forget how kind you were to me. It was so hard to leave my family behind in Germany and move here. You made me feel like I had a true friend. I will never forget you . Your home now in a much better place Love Nita

Carole, I loved you like a sister. You were my best friend. It`s been to many years that we have been apart. I was so wanting to come and see you and spend girlfriend time together and catch up. I waited to long... My heart is broken and I will miss you always... You will live on in my heart and my memories forever. You and your family are part of who I am and where I came from. We had the best childhood and you were my best friend. I love you Carole Lee Ritchie. I bought her a cup with red hearts and red lipstick kisses with the words "Kiss Me My Darling" I gave it to her the last time I saw her. It has a special meaning to us. My prayers go out to your family I`m sorry for your loss... My Eternal Love, Debra Harrison
