Steve,Stevie,Karin and girls, Joanne,Ed, Roberta & Lionel, Jennifer & family,
God's Blessing on all of you in the time of need and hurt. The passing of a (wife & your best friend), Mother, Sister, and In-laws is sometimes hard to understand why, The understanding come when you realize that your loved one is no longer suffering and no more pain. and she is at peace and rest. It is ok to cry and please do lots of remembering the good and not so good times. Keep busy and pray and talk to God. He is the only comfort that can give you peace within. He will put his arms around you sholders and hold you close.

Carol was a very strong woman she would hold her head up and smile and when she was not up to a lot I would see her walking down the street with her head down.
She was a AWANA LEADER & sang in the CHURCH CHOIR at RAVENSWOOD EV. COVENANT CHURCH. Carol you will be missed by many.
Love the Family,
From CHICAGO,
The JOHNSON FAMILY
