Dear Carol, we had so many laughs together. And to think you passed away on my birthday. Rest in peace my dear friend. You will be missed.

Carol was a special, special person! When I always needed a good dose of reality and someone to put things in 'proper' perspective, Carol was there to set things straight. She told it like it was and then punctuated it with a joke and a smile. She was a great friend whose influence I will never forget. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends with whom I share our loss. God bless all of you.

The world has certainly lost a wonderful light. My sincere condolences to the family. Mrs. DelPrete always had sage advice and a kind word for a troubled student. I'm sure she is smiling down on her family members and watching over them now.

When I look across the street I will always envision you standing there with your never ending smile waving to me. Rest my friend.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Carol. Knowing her as a young girl going to school with Vinny, and then reconnecting when she helped my son with all his college applications a few years ago. She was always smiling and willing to lend a hand. The world really is a better place because of her!

Vinny and Vinny, I just can’t begin to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. Carol was such a wonderful person. She always has and always will, hold a very special place in my heart. Rest in peace Carol.

Vinnie & "Son" We are so sorry to hear of your loss.

Vinnie , so sorry for your loss, your friend Fred Laracy, Sweeney brothers.

Dear Mr delprete & Vinny,I am so sorry for your loss,she was a great women,your neighbors Debbie sheehan & Bob DeFilippo

Vinny and family. To know Carol was to love Carol. She has touched countless people in her lifetime, and all our lives are better for knowing her. I will miss, but always remember her warm smiles and hugs. May you draw strength from the wonderful memories you both created. Rest in peace my friend in the warmth of Heaven. Till we meet again .....

Carol will always be remembered for her vibrant, happy personality. I began my career with Carol being the first person to see each morning at the Jefferson School. She shared her beautiful smile and was full of laughter each and every day, including the times I'd see her at the high school. Caring thoughts are with her family...my sincere condolences.

Dear Vinny and Lil Vinny, I am so sorry for your loss. Carol was such a fun loving person and I was so happy to see her again recently. Carol, may you rest in peace and know that your kindness and laughter have touched so many who will never forget you.

The Fucillo Family, George, Deb, Charlie & Theresa, extend our deepest sympathy and hope the coming days will bring you peace as you draw strength from the caring hearts around you

Crazy Lady, I've known you for as long as I can remember, you babysat me when I was little and I babysat Lil Vinny when he was little. You've always been a special person in our families lives and we all loved you. Take care of my Dad when you get up there !!! Its true that God only takes the best, rest in peace Carol, you'll always be in my heart.

May you rest peacefully Carol. You gave so much and you were taken to soon. God bless you.

I'll always remember Carol's smile & spunk! She was an amazing woman. Rest in Peace.

Vinnie & Lil Vinnie Though we may be miles away we have many fond memories of being with you guys. Always enjoyed your company. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with both of you. God will help you get through this difficult time. Love Neil & Sue Keenan

May she Rest in Peace and I hope you find comfort in knowing there are so many people who care about you and will be there for you in this very difficult time May all your great memories keep you going day by day

To the DelPrete Family may the lord be with you at this difficult time. Carol thank you for helping me become who I am today, without your advise all those years I wouldn't be where I am today. I agree the world was a better place because of carol but Rockland High School is a better place because of Carol. Carol touched no only my life but those who got to work with her every day. Carol May the choirs of angels come to greet you. May they speed you to paradise my friend.

RIP my friend

" I have lost a dear friend. She was an exceptional person who always had her glass at least half full. I know that I always felt much better after talking with her. Her commitment to the staff and students of the Rockland Public Schools is well known to all who had contact with her. My deepest sympathy to Vinnie and family."

The world has lost a great person. Thinking of you and your family.

Mrs. D was always smiling, always helping others. All through my youth and involvement with Scouting, Mrs. D was always there to help when needed. Gone too soon. Heaven has truly gained another Angel! Vin & Vinny, please know that my family and I will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers during this time. So very sorry for your loss.

I will always remember her smile and kindness. She touched all who ever met or knew her. Never putting herself first. Always there if you needed help or just a friend. She will be greatly missed. Always a friend, a lady, a mother, a grandmother and a wife. Uncle Vin & Vinny how lucky were we to of had her in our lives.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that you are all doing well in this time of sadness. I really enjoyed my time with your family. Mrs. D. was a wonderful and kind lady who always had time for me when I was walking around Rockland and would stop in to say hello. I know that my father would be very sad at time. Will see you soon. Love, Karen Borden (Walsh)

I can't express how saddened I am to hear this news. Carol was truly special. She had an innate ability to light up a room with a smile or a quick-witted remark and to make you feel at home. During her many years working in the guidance department at RHS she had to interact with many Rockland kids who were somehow down on their luck - trouble with grades, a conflict with a teacher or peer, or dealing with a difficult situation at home - and I think her sense of humor and light-hearted approach to her work really did have a positive effect on these kids. Carol was loyal and kind and she'll be missed.

Vinny and Family....Please accept our heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Carol was a remarkable woman with a wonderful sense of humor. Just take one day at a time.

I am so sorry to hear of Carol's passing. Sheryl just let me know as I am living in FL the last couple years. She and your family were such a large part of us kids growing up next door to you. I remember how much she loved my grandmother Helen and always kept watch over us growing up. I can still see her sitting in the back seat of the car while Capone sat up front!

Vinnie: We are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

My heart is broken.... Carol now is the brightest star in the Heavens. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and yes, to all her friends.

Dear Vinny and family, I've just gotten home from a trip and read of Carol's passing. The world has lost a VERY special person. She always was willing to go the extra mile for me whether it was with school "stuff" or Citizens Scholarship. And you always knew where you stood with her. She had a marvelous sense of humor and was never afraid to call a spade a spade. We shared so many laughs! She was a good friend and a special person! Vinny you'll appreciate this, I painted my fire hydrant this year and couldn't help but laugh remembering that the last time it was done was when young Vinny and the scouts took on the project. I tried to be as neat. I'll miss her!

So sorry to hear about Carol's passing. She was a great colleague and I enjoyed all our conversations.

Cousin Vinnie, my heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with you, Vinnie Jr. and the rest of the family. I have fond memories of Carol while I was growing up. She was a great lady. Unfortunately I am traveling this week and can't be with you in person but please know that I will thinking of all of you and sending my prayers. I hope to see you soon. Love - Butchie Umbrianna

Vinny, so sorry to learn of the passing of your wife. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Be strong my friend. Thinking of you.

Carol was a kind, caring, wonderful person and a good friend. Always smiling and eager to brighten your day. She's been through so much, but never complained. She was always more concerned with how you were doing. She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten by all whose lives she touched. Heaven's gain is the world's loss. Carol is surely watching over her beautiful family now from above. Vinny, young Vinny, Giovanna, Bella & Olivia may God Bless you all and comfort you during this very difficult time. You're in our thoughts & prayers.

We are truly sorry for your loss. Carol was such a beautiful person inside and out, always smiling and laughing. We had so many great times together. She will be greatly missed.

Vinny, just learning of Carol's passing, my sincere condolances to you, your son, and other family members. I remember Carol when we were kids growing up in Rockland; she always had a great sense of humor, a really happy person. As adults, that never changed...if our paths crossed while on Union St, or in the grocery store, she would always greet me with her cheery Hello and a wonderful smile. A great loss to anyone who knew her. John Eaton

What a remarkable woman she was. Always had a smile and how she loved to laugh. She would do anything for you and never ask anything in return. Even though I have been away for years whenever I talked to her on the phone or drop in on Vinny & her she would give me big hugs. You will be sadly miss by those you have touched especially by me. I will always remember & love you.

Our hearts are so incredibly sad over the passing of our friend Carol. Carol was an honest, funny, and caring person who took it upon herself to play "matchmaker" for us, and was thrilled to dance at our wedding....almost 25 years ago. She was always interested in watching our children grow and loved when we would 'pop in' to visit her. There is no doubt in our minds that our lives were made better just because Carol was in it. We send our sincerest sympathies to her family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

She filled every ones harts with love and she always made me smile she brightens up the room not only when she walked in but also when she smiled and laugh.she loved every one and rocky the same.she will be missed but not forgotten. May she forever lie in our harts. R.I.PðŸ'–😘ðŸ?¾ðŸ˜?ðŸ'• We love you nanny!ðŸ'˜

Carol-to your family, my sincere sympathy. You and I will always have a bond with helping each other though bouts of cancer. Our talks and laughs were therapeutic. I will miss you. Gone too soon.

Big Vinnie & little Vinnie, I am truly sorry for your loss. I can honestly say my life has been enriched just knowing Carol. She was one of the best neighbors I have ever had the pleasure of having by far. My fondest memories are when we were both out supposed to be doing lawn work and would see each other, we'd stop and talk for an hour maybe longer! She would make me laugh with here stories. She lit up and was so proud of her grand daughters. She was the most positive person I knew even through all that she went through, such an inspiration to us all. Carol RIP you will be sadly missed and never ever forgotten.

Although I haven't seen Carol in many years, I will always remember her by her laugh. My Mom Helen and her Mom Millie were best friends and I knew Carol as a young girl. So sorry to hear of your loss . My condolences to her family. Janice Watson Albanese

zach and i are sooo sry for ur loss and our deepest coldances to carol family and freinds.

"She touched everyone's hearts. She was the best nana eny one could have , she baked with me and sewed, she did everything. She would put her time aside just for us. She always had good hopes like she always thought I would grow out of my allergies but I don't think I will. I love her and she was so nice to everyone. Only if she could be here now. ðŸ'•ðŸ'–ðŸ'‹ðŸ˜˜ - Olivia DelPrete

Big Vinny and Little Vinny, Our hearts go out to you both during this difficult time. She loved you both so much her family was her life! Carol was an amazing lady. She touched so many lives. To know her was to love her. She was honest, kind, loving, warm and always there ready to help anyone and everyone. Please know that we are here for you and that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Big Tom, Jeanie, Little Tom and Samantha
