I'm so saddened by the loss of your dear Carol her ability to do things with perfection without hesitation always left me in awe.Her warm heart and infectious laugh will remain in my mind forever.She never judged anyone for their faults even when I would pick Elise up from Girl Scouts an hour late because I got lost every time I went to her house.I will miss you my fellow cancer warrior,you gave me an immeasurable amount of strength thru our conversations.Love you

When I sent you white flowers, I told you that they bring angels. I'm glad those angels were there to bring you to everlasting peace and eternity. You'll always remain in my heart.

I am so sorry that I will not be able to make the services for Carol to celebrate her life. However, wanted to let you know that I am thinking of all of you and that I am at a loss for words. Last year around this same time we reconnected after several years thanks to Social Media. When I talked with her I told her hard not to call her Carol Ann. We would check in on each other from time to time. She was always worried about me and I would say CAROL how are YOU doing? She had a big heart and very caring. I am grateful to have reconnected with her after many years apart. I had hopes that she was going to beat the odds. She is at peace now and I will always cherish those laughs we shared.
