Carole Ann Sundman

Ray, and family. My deepest condolences to you, and your extended families on the passing of Carole. I met her at SPUMC, and we were also in the same Seekers Sunday School class. She was a very sweet and caring person. May all of your special memories keep her spirit alive in your hearts forever…she’ll only be a memory away. May God embrace you with His loving arms during this difficult time in your lives.

Carole was my dear sister and friend. She was an inspiration and role model for her 4 sisters and 2 brothers. Her life on this earth was marked by love, compassion and unwavering faith in God. She has left a void in the hearts of family and friends and those who knew her. She loved her church and serving others, music, gardening, hiking, camping and nature. She enjoyed the many trips she and her husband Ray took.

Carole, our amazing, sweet, thoughtful, caring, intelligent, and loving sister, is much missed! She loved her family, church, friends and spending time with them. She was a very kind and giving person who was dearly loved. My time and talks with her will stay with me forever. May her memory be eternal.
Until We Meet Again
Each morning when we awake
we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
and many tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
and often a silent tear,
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We’d walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts,
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing will be the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

READINGS
A Prayer for the Deceased
Receive in tranquillity and peace, O Lord, the
souls of your servants who have departed this
present life to come to you.
Grant them rest and place them in the habitations
of light, the abodes of blessed spirits.
Give them the life that will not age, good things
that will not pass away, delights that have no end,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
– Saint Ignatius of Antioch
