To the family,
Though I didn't know Carole that well, she was always kind to me and always made me feel welcome in the badminton world, teaching me the basics and encouraging me to participate. I know that her spirit and energy touched many people like myself, and we are all blessed for having known her.

Mom,

I will always remember your spirit will forever be with me. Words cannot describe how you have touched me and help guide me through life. You have helped so many and asked for so little. You will never be forgotten.

I'll see you later!

Dear Chester, Calvin, Clifford and Craig, Carol was very special to me. She was full of fun, vigor and friendship. She gave of herself to others. I had great respect for her competitive spirit, her sense of humor and her love of family and friends. I will always hold her in loving memory and thank her for her closeness and warmth she and Chester showed to my beloved John. Love, Betty
