I'm a little late in learning of this news. And I have to say I'm just crushed. Becky Carroll was my favorite. She was my teacher for 3rd grade at Florence Elementary. I can hear her infectious laugh (giggle snort). I'll miss those Christmas Cards.
Prayers & Love to Wade, Cory, & Cody

Dear Carroll Family,
Becky taught my children Bryan and Alison Heffner and we loved her so much. She was the teacher they will always remember. She touched their lives as well as mine. She also was a friend and supported my children as they grew into adults. My heart breaks for your loss. I am praying for God's loving arms to be around you during this difficult time. Remembering Becky with love, Kris Heffner
