The absolute best Thea ever. What a loving, kind, thoughful and caring person………..May her memory be eternal. Paulette and I have many fond memories of Uncle Jim and Christina. Uncle Jim was more like a brother to me than an uncle, and I miss Christina’s welcoming smile. We were all made to feel at home, and always greeted with an immediate invitation to “stay for dinner!!” One of the best years of my life after college graduation, is when I lived with my grandmother Irene downstairs from Jimmy and Christina. I had it made as a batchelor………Christina’s cooking, lunch with my Uncle Jim and my cousin Georgie to tease! Not a week has gone by that I do not think of the wonderful memories of our family times together. All the senior Carkonen’s have been reunited in Heaven. What a privilage to be a part of such a wonderful family. Love to all, Paul Carkonen
