Sharon, Barb & Rod...We were so sorry to hear of Aunt Carol's death. We had a great time whenever she would come to Andrews for a visit. I'm sure the brother/sister trips to Pagosa and Branson won't be quite the same without her there. Our love and sympathies.

Dear Sharon, Barb and Rob and families, I've had the pleasure of being Carol's neighbor in Springfield and just wanted you to know what a dear, sweet lady she was. We spent many hours sunning our bodies at the pool together and knew that we were always there for each other in times of need. My prayers are with you for strength and healing.

You, her children and grandchildren were the joy of her life! She so enjoyed the reunions with her siblings and their spouses! As for those of us who were her friends, she will always be in our hearts with the same loyalty and love she gave to us. At some point, I trust the light of our gratitude will shine through our clouds of grief as we remember shared moments with our beloved Carol. Blessings on you, Karen

Sharon, Barb, and Rod: I have many memories visiting your house in Dodge and always trying to "fit in" with the big kids. Aunt Carol was always one of my favorite aunts. I loved her smile, quick wit, and always "tanned" legs. I know my parents enjoyed the last few years going on trips with Carol and the other "Headrick" siblings. Those memories will now be treasured even more. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Your mom was one great Lady. She will be missed.
