To Don and all the Spainhour families, my sincere condolences. Carole was a friend since we started high school in 1946--not often together, but always in my heart. I am grateful for her love and support through all the years. Sorry I won't be there to celebrate her life with all of you, but I will be joining in prayer in Maryland.

My deepest sympathies to Don and to all of Carole's family and friends. Carole was a very close friend to my mother, Carol Walsh, and I have nothing but the fondest memories of the entire Spainhour family. She was such a loving, loyal, and caring person. May the love and memories support you in this difficult time.

Carole you will definitely be missed. You welcomed me during my rebellious years and were always the sweetest! I am so grateful to have known you and my kids are lucky to have a Gramma Carole like you! May you rest in peace and watch over all of us. Love you!---Stephanie
