Carole S. Calza, of West Middlesex, October 15, 1938 to September 27, 2024.

If you're reading this, its because I have passed on to a better place, hopefully Heaven and not Purgatory. I didn't want to go yet, but it wasn't my choice to make.

It will be nice to see my parents, Dominic and Stella (Gladysz) Casaccia; my husband, Lou; and a host of other loved ones, family, and friends. But in doing so, I have to leave behind my wonderful, love you forever son, Christopher; my awesome grandson, Mattheu; who has given me three very special great-grandchildren, Tyler, Matt, Jr., and Sophia; and Matt's girlfriend, Tracy, who helped me so much. I also leave my ever helpful and always there for me loving sister, Marlene Stofan; and her near perfect husband, Mark, who has been like a brother to me; and of course my brother, Ron Casaccia, a great guy who has given me so much.

It is because of these people and the many friends and family I am hopefully with now, I have been blessed with a wonderful life filled with love. The key word is LOVE. So now that my adventure on earth is over and I say goodbye to embark on a new adventure, I ask all who have been in my life to remember me by doing something nice for someone and live each day with your heart full of kindness, and life full of love. The key word is LOVE.
