I buried my mother today.
I cannot tell all of you who have signed how much it meant to read four pages of comments and tributes to my mother. I couldn\'t speak at her funeral today. I was at a loss. Words seemed so useless to describe a life that was fairly short but large! I didn\'t feel like I could just "sum up" her life. I love her so much and there will not be a day that I do not think of her. I hope she left this world knowing that we loved her.

Sorry for the delay in sending my condolences to the family of Carroll, but I returned late last nite from the CO show, and was unaware of this opportunity until now. You all have fond memories of Carroll that will help ease your sense of loss, and will keep you warm whenever you think of Carroll. She will always be with you, and whenever you need some advice, she will be there for you to talk to her. Take advantage of that.

I went, this morning, to the church for Carroll for praying for her and
all her family.
I am burning a candle today, on my desk to keep thinking of her, and
that her soul could see all these lights, on earth, lighting for her,
with love and friendship!
Love,

Carroll has left us, but she\'ll keep in touch with us, with her kindness, her sweetness, and all carefullness. Each of us has received a lot from her.
I have been listening the Mozart\'s Requiem while the candle was burning for her, and I know that all these thoughts of love will get to her through her family and friends.
She will stay with us for a long long time. And I certainly not be able to forget her, as my first AKK will arrive soon here, in France, talking about Carroll, his friend from the Columbia River area! Love. Caroline

Carroll has been one of the greatest inspirations to me, and she has a place in my heart that will always be hers. I feel like that piece of my heart is missing right now, but I know that it will be filled with love an memories as the days pass.
To Joe and Michelle, and Felicia, and all of your family, I send you my love and support, and I wish I could be there to give it in person. You are in my heart and in my thoughts on these days, and I\'ll be there in spirit on Friday.

Although we didn\'t have the
privilege of knowing Carroll for long we feel like we lost a good friend. We will
miss her advice and assistance with the AKK. She was always kind, warm and willing to lend a helping hand. She was a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing her with us.

I only met Carroll once, about 2 years ago, so I didn\'t have the pleasure of knowing her personally very well. But I do know that she loved the Alaskan Klee Kai with all her heart and she was a mentor for all of us at one time or another, one way or another. She will be sadly missed by all of us, whether our dogs came from her or not. She had a wealth of knowledge about the AKK that she graciously passed on to help all of us who needed it. To say she had a great impact on the AKK world is putting it mildly. Her memory will remain with us forever. My condolence and sympathy goes out to her family, both human and canine. Love, Lenor

In the 14 months I knew Carroll she became a dear friend, confidant, and mentor. Her little Waco\'s Sakrinatok V Tatiana Sunny is her legacy to me. Everytime I look at her now I see you Carroll. I trust I can live up to your breeding standards, expectations, and dreams. How I am going to miss picking up the phone to ask you questions, ask advise, or just talk and laugh together. Selfishly, I cry for my loss, but feel so priveliged for having known you Carroll.
May God hold Joe and your family close at this time, and give them peace and comfort in the knowledge you are now in a much more comfortable place. Carroll was a wonderful person; I\'m proud to have known her and been able to call her my dear friend and mentor.
God speed, Carroll.

I\'m just getting caught up on all the posts, I got home late on Tuesday night from a dog show in Colorado. I am deeply sorry to hear about Carroll\'s passing. I am not terribly good with words in a time as this, so I hope that sharing this poem will say something from me to Carroll\'s family and friends. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone!

When tomorrow starts without me, and I\'m not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn\'t cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, we didn\'t get to do or say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you\'ll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I\'d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, I\'d always thought, I didn\'t want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet to say and do, it seemed almost
impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love that was shared, and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for
awhile, I\'d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, that this could never be, for memories,would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven\'s gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great and golden throne, He said, "This is eternity, and all I\'ve promised you". "for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew." "I promise no
tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day\'s the same day, there\'s no longing for the past." "You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true."
So when tomorrow starts without me, don\'t think we\'re far apart, for everytime you think of me,
I\'m right here....
.... in your heart.

I knew Carroll through the Alaskan Klee Kai community. Carroll was an inspiration to me. She was kind and gracious and happily shared her knowledge of dog breeding with me. I will miss so much being able to call or write. I can\'t believe I will never see her at another dog show.
I will be forever grateful to her for allowing me to give Frosty a home. I will try to honor Carroll\'s memory by giving Frosty plenty of love and the best of care.
I pray that God will hold Joe and the family close in His arms. May He give you comfort and peace.
Goodbye, Carroll. Frosty sends his love.

I wish to send my condolences for your loss. I never met Carroll but corresponded with her several times over the last year,after learning of the AKK breed and getting my Faro. She was very kind and offered to help me in any way. From all the messages I have read I feel I have also lost a friend even though we hadn\'t met. I know the feeling of loss and disbelief that that special and necessary person in you life is really now missing. I know she will live on in spirit as there are so many good memories and legacies out there to remind us all of her. I hope that will bring some joy to the family.

My deepest sympathy to Carroll\'s family at this time of their loss. I only knew Carroll as the VERY helpful person who always immediately responded when I posted a question I had about my rescued AKK last year. Her words were always without a doubt heartfelt, thorough, and correct!! She was always the first and fastest to respond to my inquiries. I also truly believe that she had a joyous reunion at The Rainbow Bridge and many paws waiting to help her cross over to eternal love, companionship and happiness.

To Carroll, thank you for the best gift I ever had. I recieved a phone call with your voice on the other line telling me I had an opportunity to house a gift. It was right after my best friend was killed. You\'ll always live in all of your gifts that you passed along to everyone... you gave your love to all. Thank you and God Speed.
To Carroll\'s family, let the great gifts that she bred and raised inspire you every day. My gift didn\'t help my forget my best friend, but rather I made my gift an everyday rememberence of my friend. Carry her life on in all of you as she will to all of us who recieved our gifts. Her love will always blanket you. She is not gone, but yet, she has only begun her journey to watch over all of us and to be with her already passed gifts. Dogs were her life, they were not before all of you, but rather a part of your family. She was a great lady. Thank you for sharing her. God Bless you all.Obviously he already has.

We met Carroll when we flew to Washington to get our Kuvi, an Alaskan Klee Kai pup. Immediately, it was as if we\'d known Carroll for years...she was such a warm, lovely, and kind person. We\'ve stayed in touch with her over the years, and she was always there for us, no matter what we needed. Her support meant the world to us.
So many of us will miss her terribly, and our hearts, although heavy, go out to her family. Joe, her children, her grandchildren, and her great grandchild are in our thoughts and prayers. We are comforted only by knowing that she is in a much better place, and that we will see her again.
We can only imagine the greeting that she received from the pups at the Rainbow Bridge!

There are no words that can ease the pain of your loss, but hopefully you will gain comfort, knowing of all the people and animals that Carroll touched with her kindness, love, generosity, and compassion. She was the sweetest, nicest person I have ever had the privlege to have met and considered a friend. She will alway be here for her family and friends in our lives. A passing thought, a remembered detail, a coincendence that seems a little odd, a gentle breeze that appears to be laughing, an all of a sudden awareness of Carroll, all these things will be her way of reminding us to not mourn and to go on and accomplish all that we are capable of and grow to be what she would have envisioned and would be so proud of. I know in my heart that she is at peace, pain free, and smiling at all of us. Carroll touched many people in her life time and enriched us all with her presense. I thank God that she is at peace and wish the family members peace and happiness in the days, months and years to come.
My deepest sympathies,

Carroll was both my mentor and friend. She will live on in my life through my beautiful WACO dogs, which I cherish with all my heart. It is my vow to continue breeding these babies as Carroll would have and with her spirit and dedication and from the terrific example she left so many of us "new kids" .
Joe and family- I was planning on coming Friday, but after much thought, I decided to offer to come out and help you with the kennels or dogs when you are ready. It would really make me feel better about this if I can help in any way you need me too.
I was so glad to have been able to spend time at your home last month Joe, although I wish now I had stayed much longer.
My love and prayers go out to all of your family at this time. Please do not hesitate to let me know what I can do to help when the time comes. Karen, WACO\'s Kobuk, Keno, Ali and Lina

It\'s very hard to find words to express how much Carroll\'s support and inspiration have meant to us. Our Kiki Christmas means so much to us and Carroll was so kind to help facilitate our taking her in from her original family. And before and since, she was a wonderful mentor and counselor as we learned about our little ones. We have rarely been so influenced by someone we\'ve never met in person. Her love and passion are inspirational to us. We are holding our little ones a little tighter in her memory.

Over eight years ago, I was searching around the Internet to try to decide what kind of dog I would get. We had managed to convince our landlord to allow one and I wanted one for so many reasons, including to help me fight depression and get out more. I ran across the Klee Kai and my heart went pitter-patter, but I wasn\'t sure I was right for them, so I kept making my lists and going over and over them, until the Klee Kai kept coming up. Finally, I gave in. I wanted a husky but they were too large for what I had to offer. Klee Kai sounded perfect.
I wrote to Carroll and she was not only wonderfully honest about the ins and outs of the breed, but also wanted to know a lot about how I would handle the dog, etc. That\'s what made me feel so comfortable with her. I got on her waiting list, and then much sooner than expected found out that she had a pup with an imperfect mask and she\'d gotten down to us on the list while looking to find him a home. Well, we were happy to take him. From then on, she put up with constant silly questions from me with aplomb and generally helped the nervous new mama prepare herself.
Zorro was the first pup in his litter with a name. She sent us pictures of him regularly and put up with even more questions. We came to her house to get him and she was all ready for us, letting us watch him play with his brothers and sisters. He was a sneaky devil even then, he\'d wait for them to all get occupied fighting each other for this big hiking boot, and then he\'d sneak off with it looking all proud. Before we left, she said his dad loved to play with his puppies, and so put Zorro out back with Tut so they could run around. It was one of the most beautiful things I\'ve ever seen.
Ever since then, I made sure to stay in touch so she could keep up with what was going on with Zorro who in fact got a full mask in and was so beautiful and so happy and friendly that she asked us not to "snip" him. She was always full of advice and help. When we bought a house and were looking for a companion for him, she gave us an older breeding female in return for the promise of puppies back before we retired her. Maia had her first litter here and gave us our other two lovely AKK, Sikari and Piyomi. She then had a second litter down at Carroll\'s, whose pups have made three different homes very happy.
We didn\'t need any crazy contracts. We\'d just agree on what sounded fair and we always seemed to agree on that and did it. That\'s what it was like to deal with her, and given the nastiness that seems to absorb the dog community, that made her a rare gem.
Just yesterday, after I heard the news, I noticed something interesting about Maia and turned around to write her about it ... and that\'s when it really hit me. Enjoy your babies, Carroll ... at least I know now that when my older dogs pass on, they\'ll have their grandma to go to once they get across that rainbow bridge.
