Carol was one of my cousin's, we grew up together on the same block in Canaryville; and had many family gatherings together.

The memorial mass for Carol was beautiful and to have all the relatives together to remember her was wonderful.

My thoughts and prayers are with Carol and her family.

Please accept our sympathy on the passing of Carol. It has been a very, very long time since we have seen one another, but Dick and I will alway remember the good times we had at the old Coral Key in Bridgeport.
We certainly will pray for Carol and her family.

Our sincere condolences to Carol's husband, Bill, and sister Maureen, and the entire family. Our wonderful memories of Carol over the past 40 years will be with us always. All of them are funny, loving and joyous which reflects the type of person she was. God Bless her wonderful husband and family who stood next to her so lovingly and together throughout her discomforting times. Although we are at a loss without our close friend, we know she is at peace with our Lord.

Love,

Sandy Welbourn and family
