It has just come to my attention (thanks HeavenlyHosts) that our sister and friend Carol55 has passed away may almighty God enfold her and comfort her family.. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/caroline-ryan-obituary?id=47931704
an inestimable loss to the forum, may our sister Carol rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon her. I confess that I had noticed her absence from the forum since the beginning of February but I wasn't sure if it was due to health problems
Thanks for letting us know. She wasn't afraid to disagree with someone, yet remained respectful, balanced and fair. That's a rare quality these days. May she rest in peace.
I am so sad to lose Carol. She was a stalwart Catholic warrior with a kind charitable spirit. She will be greatly missed. May God grant her peace.
This makes me so sad. Carol was such a consistent and even-tempered contributor. I always valued her input (even if I disagreed). May she rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon her.
Sad to hear this. May she pray for us as we will for her. May the perpetual light shine upon Carol, may she rest in peace. Amen.
We pray for you, Carol; please pray that we will remain faithful as you did. Eternal rest grant to Carol, O Lord, let perpetual life shine upon her. May Carol's soul and the souls of all faithful departed, rest in peace, amen!
This is a loss. Carol had such good manners! I loved following her. We will dearly miss her. Prayers for her soul and for her family that she loved so much.
Awww will miss Carol. I didn’t realize she lived pretty close to me (30 minutes away). I would have gone to her funeral. God Bless her soul.
Stunned at this news. Needed a second to process it. I had many a spat with Carol down the years... That lady could fight her corner!! I'll miss her. God bless you Carol. My prayers for you.
Wonderful woman. Prayers for her soul. But I am sure God will not keep her waiting on the doorstep too long. A great Catholic. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12
So sad to hear about Carol. May she rest in the arms of Our Lord. Prayers for her soul, and for her loving family.
I am so sad to hear of this. I too had wondered about her absence. She was a luminous presence on the forum and an impeccable researcher. I thank God for her Faith and her life. May God have mercy on her and grant her Eternal Rest in His Kingdom. May she R+I+P. May her soul and the souls of all the Faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
This is the most shocking news I’ve read here in all my years on this forum. We never met but exchanged the occasional private message. I considered her a beloved friend. I used to call her the forum’s Indiana Jones and she loved it. She will be sadly missed. Heavenly Father source of forgiveness and salvation, grant that our dearest Carol who has passed from this life may, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all the saints, come to share your Eternal happiness through Christ our Lord. Amen
