Alen, Kelli

I just wanted to send you a note and extend my condolences about the passing of Carol. I know at this time you are probably very busy and are trying to get things figured out.    She was an incredible person and cherished friend. I know I did not keep in contact as well as I could of and for that I apologize. I love you guys so very much and always will have a place in my heart for you. Also if you could please give me any information of funeral details, I would like to send some flowers.     I wish I could come and be there but I will not be able to come until September for the horse show. Please keep me informed.    I am also send you this poem it helped when my grand mother passed on and I think it fits the bill of losing anyone...It is from the book Smoke Jumper by Nicholas Evans, If I be the first of us to die, Let grief not blacken long your sky. Be bold yet modest in your grieving. There is a change but not a leaving. For just as death is a part of life, the dead live on forever in the living. And all the gathered riches of our journey, the moments shared, the mysteries explored, the steady layering of intimacy stored, the things that made us laugh or weep or sing, the joy of sunlit snow or first unfurling of spring, the wordless language of look and touch, the knowing, each giving and each taking, these are not flowers that fade, nor trees that fall and crumble, nor are they stone, for even stone cannot the wind and rain withstand and even the mighty mountain peaks in time are reduced to sand. What we were, we are. What we had, we have. A conjoined past imperishably present. So when you walk the woods where we walked together, and scan in vain the dappled bank beside you for my shadow Or pause where we always did upon the hill to gaze across the land, and spotting something, reach by habit for my hand, and finding nothing, feel sorrow start to steal upon you Be still. Close your eyes. Breathe. Listen for my footfall in your heart. I am not gone but merely walk beside you.    Holly as I write this I know that Carol is in a better place smiling down on us. There will never be a day that I wont miss her. She taught me so much and gave me an incredible legacy that I take with me everyday of my life.       Love you all, Kelli

Anderson, Andrea

I heard that it was going to be on the 13th of September. I really want to go, but I need some information. I need to know the address where the show is going to be. I am really upset right now, I loved Carol, she was one of my best friends. I am sure that you are suffering too. Love Andrea Anderson

Chism, Walt

To her family, I have some good news. You will never forget her. She will be in your thoughts every day and mostly you will remember the little things that made Carol Carol.    I remember the last Celebration she attended, she sat in our box and we had wonderful conversations about horse in general and our horses in particular. She dearly loved her horses not because what they cold do for her but for what she could do for them.    I'll miss her! Walt Chism

Gasca, Sylvia

I just found out today that my special friend had passed away. My heart is sad but I know she lived life to the fullest and I know she is in a better place. My name is Sylvia and I would love to share my fondest moments with Carol Pitzer. I met Carol in 1976 when she was a head hunter (a job placement agency) I had just moved from Texas, I was living in Glendale, CA. I was 19 years old and I was unemployed. I was fortunate enough to find Carol in the Glendale Newspaper Ads.    Carol was the most positive, loving, caring and gracious person I had ever met. She was my angel who not only fed me lunch every day until I found work but found me my first real job working in a high rise building. Because of her I am what I am today. She checked up on my periodically and made sure that I was happy and doing alright. She not only helped me find work but she also helped so many others that were unemployed.     I loved to hear her laugh and she gave the best hugs. I remember her inviting me out to Sylmar to ride her horses. Her passion was her horses and she always spoke about having her horse business. When I think of Carol she puts a smile on my face. We had such a good time helping one another and as I got older she told me how proud she was of me. I am so proud to have met her and so proud that she followed her dream and became successful with her passion for her horses.    Her beauty and the memory of her will be in my heart forever. God Bless you Carol and I know that you are in a better place. With loving memories of you and all that you were here on earth I thank you from the bottom of my heart ! Ride High Always, Sylvia Gasca ~ 06-12-10

Reiley, Sally

I loved Carol-what a great friend and I had so much respect for her beautiful horse "Generator's Elegance". I can just hear her voice as I am writing this verse. She had such expression -- kind of crazy but so genuine.     Boy, she sure loved to talk, but that was Carol for you. We had so much fun whether we were at a horseshow, on the trail at Hanson Dam or wherever. I will always remember you and Elegance. What a pair! I love you Holly and Aimee too. Until we meet again -- Love, Sally Reiley
