Well Carol, it's been a year since you have passed. This book will be closing soon. I for one will always remember you. I know you are at peace but you are still missed down here. Someday, maybe I'll see you.

Carol,



I will miss you. A piece of my heart has broken off, and I won't ever find it again.



My thoughts will be of you now and often, as long as I am alive.

Carol,



Your time on Earth ended far too soon. When I first saw you making cakes at Eagle, you never smiled. After buying more than 100 donuts from you, I got you to laugh. You have a beauty that goes all the way to your soul. I know God is planning something BIG and needs you there to decorate the cake and the room with your love.....you'll always have a special spot in my heart...Dave
