My thoughts and prayers are lifted up for God to provide you with your every need in this heartbreaking time. 💕💕🙏🙏 Carolyn was an amazing woman.💕
I absolutely loved Mrs. Wheelock . I had her for English at Kathleen Jr High. She motivated me to do my best and would give me extra credit to complete. I finished her class with a 111 A . She would tell me it wouldn’t read on my report 111 but I would know in my heart what I accomplished. She was such an Amazing teacher, motivator and a sweet sweet lady. I wish I’d got to keep up with her after school. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family, friends, students and her cat.
God bless !
Ahhhh! Mrs. Carolyn Ritter Wheelock, you and I go back along way. I just told Emily how I admired you and Robin Powell for being such trendsetters with your short Dorothy Hammil hairdos and attitudes. Oh how I’ve loved you from the moment we met! If you’re reading this…tee hee…get your red marker OUT! I loved coming to your home and seeing a real family when I was young, your legs and laughter made me smile around the pool! Great gams I still thought as I rubbed your feet not 48 hours before your took your last breath! I will always smile when Emily calls me BONZO because that was your pet name for me because I was always clowning around or maybe it was because I was all limbs back then and tangled up in myself; perhaps both. You offered me safety in your home, your classroom and in your life. No matter the time apart, your arms were always open with a smile when BONZO came around. Crossword puzzles beside you when I’d come by too! You touched so many generations of lives and will be missed bagazillions…that was NEVER in one of your puzzles because there isn’t a word to describe the impact you’ve had during your time here on Earth! RIP and I will look for signs 💖🥂💖 I love you always!
