Pam Bedour
Dear Joe,
I am so sorry. It was obvious to everyone that you and Carolyn were best friends and I always admired the relationship you shared. I know the two of you have made many wonderful memories. For me, there are so many visions that come to mind: of Carolyn dressing up, her energy & enthusiasm playing games, her beautiful smile, her sparkling eyes, her laughter…truly, she was one of a kind! She will be so missed by your entire Rau family; what a special sister-in-law they gained many years ago.
To Marilyn, who has shared such a close friendship with Carolyn for so many years and who played a part in many of her shenanigans.
And to the Bedour Family: you’ve lost an amazing sister, sister-in-law and aunt, who loved her family fiercely. It never seems fair that the beautiful souls leave us far too early. I know you will each feel her absence immensely, especially when you gather together. My heart goes out to each of you and I’m sending much love to all.
With my deepest sympathy,
Pam

Saying Goodbye To My Dear Friend
Today my heart in broken in two. I have lost my best friend, cousin and soul sister. You were the most selfless person I knew putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. You have faced this battle with so much determination and strength with never a complaint. You were truly an inspiration. No matter how many times you would receive bad news you would always stay positive and just keep on fighting. I will always cherish the times we were able to share these last couple of months with our daily trips to London. We would laugh and sometimes cry and shared many a story. You were a beautiful person and shared a happy life with the love of your life Joe. He was your everything. Please know that you will always hold a special place in my heart.
Soar with the angels my dear friend… I will always love and miss you.💕💕💕
Your Friend Always,
Marilyn
