Family Rea As a Community Volunteer , My Heart was touched when I heard of the Great lost of you Family Member Mrs Carol,,,,, Losing a loved one in Death is one of the Hardest experience for a Human to go through … May you find comfort in the Promise that God in … ISAIAS 25 :8 ‘ HE WILL SWALLOW UP THE DEATH FOREVER, AND THE SOVEREIGN LORD JEHOVAH WILL WIPE AWAY THE TEARS FROM ALL FACES.’
David and Family: You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
Dave, I am so sorry for your loss. God bless. Beckett
Dave, I am so sorry to hear this. You are in my prayers.
I have had the honor and privilege in working with Carol for 9 years. For those of you who may not know she was a physical therapist. Most dependable, most accurate and detailed, an employer’s dream. She was quiet for the most part, which made her to be such a good listener and even quick witted at times with a dry sense of humor. She was kind and gentle with her patients, always encouraging and her patients loved her, so did her co-workers as she was always calm under any pressure. Her battle was great yet she never seemed defeated. I respected and admired her courage. I think about her daily as a positive reminder to keep her in my memories and to pray for her family whom she so dearly loved. I’ll remember her cheese and brocolli soup and some of the wonderful things she would bring to our pitch in’s. I imagine now seeing her at a table in the cafeteria or sitting outside in a nice quite area reading her book at almost every lunch hours, and remembering her very fondly and lovely thoughts. I loved Carol as a person and as a employee with such character, grace and integrity, she has set the benchmark high in our department for all others to follow. Thank You Carol I am sure you have found something up in heaven to stock and organize for others in need, as you alway did for us with linen.
Dave, Melissa and John, I am sad to hear of Carol’s passing. I have many fond memories of band trips with all of you. Carol was always ready with an extra bobby pin or pair of black socks and she and Dave worked hard to keep all of us band kids in line. My thoughts are with your entire family at this time.

Dave, Mike, Melissa and John, My heart goes out to you all! I am so sorry to hear of Carol’s passing and know words won’t take care of your loss and the hurt you are going through right now. Just know she is in good hands with Our Father Of All Of Us and she will always be in your hearts. I always enjoyed all the time Carol, Dave, myself and all the other band/orchestra parents and kids spent together for several years and considered us all close family. Carol was a very kind, loving and generous person and will be greatly missed by all. You all are always in my prayers. Kim
Dave and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your wifes passing Dave, my thoughts and prayers are with you always and especially now. Love Becky Renschler
Carol was always so patient and kind with our patients. She was truly a great person to work with. Your family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
Our loss, Heaven’s gain. I will always remember her gently touch with the patients. She was awesome.
Melissa, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know it has been a long battle and you and your family will continue to be in my prayers. I did not have the privilege of really knowing your mother, but I know she raised an amazing daughter.
To all the Rea family, I always love to tell the story of how I picked Melissa for my son Andy. It is a blessing to have a daughter-in-law who just happened to be a good friend first. One of the things that drew me to Melissa was her faith in God. I will be forever grateful to Carol and Dave for having such a wonderful daughter and for giving Melissa to our family. Carol will live on through the grandchildren that we share. Patti (for Phil too)
My thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Jim MacLaren
