I know Carol is resting easy now. She has no more pain and no more needle pokes. I was honored to care for her. She was always laughing and telling many stories of her family trips to Rhinelander. She truly will be missed. Please remember, on warm sunny days, take a moment to look to the Heavens...feel the warmth of the sun on your face...that is Carol blowing you kisses. She was an angel on earth and is an angel in Heaven...she earned her wings. Hugs!

Dear Bob and family, how can words express what the heart can't begin to feel. Russell's was very elegant and heartfelt. Thanks. Kelly and Dennis-both fond and beautiful expressions. Carol wow she was one of my friends that could always tell it like it was but have that little giggle to soften the blow. To say she had a mama bear love was right on. Such a big heart and great fight, She is so missed already. Rest in peace dear Carol.
