I'm grateful to have known Carol. She always had a smile on her face and a funny story to tell. You knew when you were around her that you would have a better day. There is a void around all of us that used to be filled with her infectious laugh. Knock 'em out in Heaven Carol. Keep the Angels laughing.

Dear Friends, I wanted to share this tribute with you for my friend Carol Yambor. I have known Carol for the past 20 years & she was the kindest individual you would ever want to meet. She would always have this incredible positive attitude & do anything for you. She raised two beautiful children, Kimmie & Mel. When I spoke to Carol on the phone for the last time two weeks ago, she sounded so good & was convinced this was all in God€™s hands & she would over come this. Dear God, You have another angel with you in your holy heaven today. I know Carol is in your gracious home saying hello to my relatives who have passed on over the years. God Bless you Carol Yambor. You will always be remembered & always be cherished & will see you down the road in heaven. May God Bless You & Your Family. Warmest Regards, Marc Migdal

Dear Melanie and Kimberly, We were so very sorry to hear about your Mother. She was such a special and loving woman. We got to know her through the Challenger Softball Team and The Tamarac Bulldogs, that both Kimberly and our son Anthony belong to for Children with Special Needs who want to be able to play sports like the other children do. Carol was always at the games to cheer Kim and all the other children on. She never had a bad word to say about anyone. She was always looking out for opportunities for Kim. We had such good talks at the games. Carol took Kim and our son Anthony to the Florida Panther Hockey Team game a few years ago and he still talks about it. When I told Anthony about Carol, he was very sad for Kimberly and said he will miss Carol very much and hopes that Kim and Melanie will be okay. Melanie and Kim, you will always have the memories of your Mother and she will always be with you in your heart. I know from experience that it will be hard at first but the pain does get easier. It doesn't go away completely. You will never forget Carol and the love she had for you girls. Our thoughts and prayers will always be with you. If you ever need to talk, please feel free to contact me anytime. Our Deepest Sympathy, Maude, Tony and Anthony Grima (sugarman)

This is dedicated to my friend Carol Yambor€™s two daughter, Melanie & Kimberly. Safely Home I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There I sperfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! but Jesus love illumined Every dark and fearful glade. And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth€™s shadows, Pray to trust our Father€™s Will. There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remaineth------ You shall rest in Jesus land. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home: Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come! May God Bless You Melanie & Kimberly€¦€¦€¦Carol is at peace in Heaven. Love, Marc Migdal

Melanie, Kimmy and Tom.. I really wanted to be there but as I told Melanie I have to stay here near home as my father is in ICU. I wanted to say I was so happy to have gotten back in touch with Carol a few years ago and am so very happy I came up to spend a weekend with her to catch up on all the years gone by. I will be thinking about you all and hope to stay in touch with you. Carol was a wonderful Mom and I know you were proud of her. She will be missed but is in good hands now. God Bless you all Kim

Kim, Melanie and Tom, The world was blessed to have such a good spirit. We will miss her. With love, Mark Rawlinson (or Marky as she called me) Sorry to burden you with my pain€¦ I heard of Aunt Carol€™s passing and it hit me hard for I never had a chance to thank her for her kind ways and smile that brightened a little boy€™s day. I heard of Aunt Carol€™s passing and it hit me hard for I long to see her as she was so many years ago. I long to see her with her little Pomeranians not knowing who was happier to see who, the dogs or she. I heard of Aunt Carol€™s passing and it hit me hard, for I do not understand how she could see so much good in all of us and, I do not understand how one so good would go too early. I heard of Aunt Carol€™s passing and it is hitting me hard. We love her but she loves us more€¦..

We miss our mom. We ask of everyone to keep her memory alive. We would like to thank everyone for their unbelievable support. We thank friends, neighbors, and family. We thank those that sent flowers. We thank those that drove many miles. We thank those that made donations. We thank those who came to the Memorial Service. We thank those who sent sympathy cards. We thank the nurses at Memorial Hospital. We thank those who lend an ear and for a shoulder to cry on. Most importantly, we thank those who touched our mothers' life and made her smile. We will never forget our memories with you Mom. Love, Melanie and Kim

Dear Melanie & Kimmy, I know this must be the hardest time in your lives right now, but remember that Mom is in a much better place and is now with you at all times. My words can't come close to comfort the hurt you both are feeling at this time, just know I'am there for you both for anything you might need. I knew Carol for just over 5 years and talked to her on the phone several times during mine and Mels "tough" times, she always made me feel like things would work out. I have nothing but fond and happy memories with her and those are the things I will remember. Carol will be sadly missed and my prayers will be for Mel and Kim. Rest in Peace Carol , you deserve it. All my Love Joe

At Carol's memorial I stood there and saw many sad and crying faces including my own. I never get upset at wakes but for some reason this was different for me and my wife. It really hit home and choked us both up more then I would have ever imagined. Carol was a good friend and always fun to be around. Now I ask everyone that knew Carol one question. Is this the way Carol would want things to be. Our Carol would want us to be laughing, joking, and cutting up and just enjoying life to the fullest. Carol was the type of person that if you were going to have a party and wanted to make sure everyone had a good time you invited Carol. She could make any event into a good time. Even when everything went bad for Carol she still held her head up high and laughed and joked like everything was all right. Now what was Carol good and bad at? Carol was a great mother to her two children and took especially good care of Kim through the year. I don€™t think Kim did without anything that Carol could provide for her from a walk in the park to Special Olympics. Where there was Carol there was Kim they were inseparable. Now what was Carol bad at? Carol couldn€™t return a phone call if it meant money to her. You would think she had to return a call to a bill collector. You knew that if you were going to get in touch with Carol you had to either keep calling or call Kim€™s cell phone and get in touch with her through her side kick Kim. Carol is not gone she will live in our hearts as long as we remember her and the good times we had with her and her kids. She will be at every party and barbecue we have and we will remember and bring up some of the goofy things she did as we have these parties and we will rejoice about the good times we had with her in her living days. We all loved her and she will be remembered until we all pass away and are united once again with her in that party in the sky. Carol will never be considered gone to me and my wife because she will live forever in our hearts with all of the other people that we have known and loved through the years. We will all be reunited with our friends and family when it is our time to go to that big barbacue in the sky. We'll always miss and love you Carol and you will always be in our hearts and minds. Now for Kim and Mel. We told you that if you ever need anything all you have to do is yell and we will be there to help you in anyway that we possibly can. We told your mom this a few days before she left us and promised to look after both of you no matter how old you get and we will stand up to our promise. Kim and Mel we love you both and will be there for you both at any given time if at all possible. Bob and Donna Pugliese

Kim and Mel, You know Donna and I are always having barbacues and parties and that your mom was always invited and usually came unless there was a good reason. A lot of people met her but like so many others they didn't remember her name but they sure remembered the lady. As soon as I brought up "Remember the woman who was the life of the party and was constantly cutting up and laughing, and what a laugh she had, well that was Carol." When I mentioned the life of the party and your mother's laugh everyone remembered her. Now whenever I tell someone about what has happened they are all very sorry and always say that they will miss her at the get togethers. You guys better not forget where the house is because your mom would want you to keep in touch with all of her and your friends. So when it is party time again you better show up and we'll all have a good time with your mom in our hearts and mind as we get together once again. Stay in touch Bob

Carol was a very dear friend. We shared so many happy times together. We worked together and were pregnant at the same time. It was a sight to see the two of us waddeling through the isles at the WD store we worked at! Carol had an infectious laugh! She smiled with her entire being.My biggest regret is that I never made it to TN to see her. We had talked about it but it never transpired. :(. Carol was a very loving and giving person. She was real. I miss her. Melonie and Kim, I don't know if you remember all the dance recitals with Jennifer. Those were such proud times for your mom and me.Your mom and Dad would light up when you were on stage. She was a very special woman. Love to you! Cheryl

Girls it's hard to believe it's been a year since your mom left us. Judie, Lynn and I all agree that Carol came into our lives at a time we were all needing a special friend. Carol was a party. Whenever she was in the room there was always fun and laughter. We could write a book of all the funny, crazy stories she told us. I can only think of one time that stands out in my mind. On the 3rd of July last year your mom was in the hospital and I called her just to see how she was doing. Before we hung up I asked if she would like for me to bring her a bbq plate the next day for lunch and she said she would love it. Around noon the next day I took the food to the hospital and while she ate we had the best visit. I couldn't tell you what we talked about now but having that one on one time with her was precious. Little did I know that would be our last real time together. Your mom was a wonderful friend and will always have a special place in my heart. When my dad passed away several years ago a co-worker told me my dad would go on living through me. To this day that has been the most comforting thing so now I tell you your mom with always live through you. I love you both. Wanda

july 29 2010 my sister carol always told me the story of when i was very little and we were in the front yard of our childhood home,she was leaving to move away to florida,she said i was a stinker because i was crying and refused to say goodbye to her because she was leaving me and wouldnt take me with her. i am so sorry i wasnt able to be with carol and her girls and my sisters angie and bonnie when ishould have been...it is so unreal to beleive that she is really gone, at times i fell like that same little girl in our front yard on pioneer drive crying for her not to go...i miss her everyday...but sometimes when i force myself to be very still i swear i can feel her around me and if i am very quiet i can hear her beautiful laugh... my daughters have said that at times they feel herpresents around themtoo, which is very comforting to us... dear mel and kim, you must know that you 2 are so special,an that you are so loved...i wish i lived around the corner from you ,my girls love you and talk of you often...hold tight to your wonderful memories of your beautiful mother and know that she will always be close to you watching over you and loving you.

Melanie and Kim, Carol was quite a woman! I wasn't sure how to take her the first time we met, but it didn't take long before I knew what a good friend she was to become. I met Carol (through my other friend Wanda) at a time in my life when I needed my friends. My husband had recently passed away and she knew I was having trouble planning a birthday party for my son. She stepped right in and offered to plan the entire thing and even host it at her house. Of course I didn't let her do it, but this was the kind woman she was. Carol had a sweet and tender side that she didn't often share with many, but I was one of the few that she allowed in. I guess she just knew I needed her understanding and she willing gave it. I want to thank Melanie, Kim and Tom for allowing me in to spend a little time with Carol a few hours before we lost her. I held her hand, talked to her and kissed her goodbye. I'll never know if she realized I was there, but I will never forget her. I will miss her big smile and her happy laugh! And those stories...she pulled me in with every word! She touched my life in a very special way. She was a fighter, and never gave up during her illness. Now that says something about her character! Carol is living on in your two girls, and we love you both! Hugs, Judie and Joe Schoocraft

Carol and I met in high school and became high school sweethearts. One of my first memories was at the corner of Dixie Hwy and Commercial Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, Fl. We were stopped at the traffic light and I got my first kiss!!...and I guess it got a little long because the car behind us was blowing his horn. Carol's ultimate moment of joy....has to be when her two daughters were born. Melanie and Kim....you had a very special Mother!!!..Love....Dad......

Dear Mel & Kim, A year has past and I still can't believe it. Your mom loved you more than any parent ever could. She always worried about you especially in your teenage years and made sure you never went without. Your mom will always be watching over you. Carol, you were always upbeat, friendly, and comforting. You always gave 100% to your job, your family and your friends. You were a proud parent and provided a wonderful home. You loved life and shared that love with your smile. You were always ready to help anyone in need. You were honest, frank and sometimes edgy. We all loved you for being yourself. It has been a long time since we met, shared our lives, a lot of good times and plenty of laughter. I'll always miss spending family time together with Mel and Kim. Carol, you will always be in my heart and never forgotten.

Over the past year, many memories of my sister have come and brought back the reality of her passing. The memories that I hold most close to my heart, are the times I would call her during my difficult times. Whatever the challenge I was facing, no matter how heartbreakingly hard, Carol would say: "You are my sister, you are strong and you WILL get through this. I will help you and be there when you need me." And she was whether in person or on the phone she was there pushing me, and making me laugh when I thought I would never laugh again. I don't have one specific memory of a special time spent with my sister, because every time I was with her was special. I miss her terribly, but each time life brings me a challenge I hear her words and know she is with me helping me "get through". Angie

It took me a while to write this even though it's been over a year. It's hard to believe one of the greatest people alive has now taken over heaven. Carol could turn even a negative situation into something positive and make you laugh while doing it. She was truly my best friend and there will never be another Carol Yambor. She was so proud of her 2 beautiful girls, Mel-Mel and Kimmie, who both grew up to be strong amazing ladies. Here are some memories. Due to our job resetting Publix grocery stores, I would call her every morning at 3AM and say "it's time to make the donuts." by Thursday, Carol said, "I don't want to make the F@#$ing donuts" and I'd say "get up, your following me like you do everyday." One morning going to Port Saint Lucie, about an hour and a half drive, I exited west off the highway. Due to no street lights, I ran off the road for a second accidentally and of course Carol followed. When we got to the store we laughed because we knew as long as we had each other, everything would be ok. Carol always wanted everyone to eat. So one Thanksgiving, she baked 2 pumpkin pies and they were cooling down. Milky the kitten had decided to play in one. We laughed and then Carol said she had a great idea. Now it becomes one pumpkin pie, who she offered it to a family member unbeknownst to them. Sorry Tom, we pulled out most of the hair we could find. We were co-workers, always hung out together and boy did we drink alot of coffee. Even went on vacations together. I have so many gifts and mementos throughout my house. One of my favorites is a magnet posted on my fridge with the saying, "Please God-if you can't make me thin, make my friends fat" She knew I loved bears and gave me another with a bouquet of roses and a bear saying "Life would be unbearable without you" The bear was right but I know when I take my eyes off the road for a second and look up at the right time, I thank Carol. It still doesn't seem real to me but her pictures are next to my mom and dad, who are all together in heaven. One thing, I wanted to go see Carol so bad during those last days and any lucid times were for her family. Mel-Mel did say she always knew when I called because Carol would smile. Don't even know why Carol asked me 15 years ago, "if I died, how many people do you think would come to my funeral?" I think the whole world would have shown up if they had know my dear best friend. She will live in my memories and heart forever. I could go on for hours but I can't. I will always be there for Mel-Mel, Kimmie, Country, Spooky, Buddy and Buddah because they know how much I love them. I will never forget nor meet anyone that can replace Carol Yambor. xxoo Jill
