Kim and Paula,
I was saddened to hear of Carols' passing. I considered her a good close friend and enjoyed working with her at Hallmark. I also remember she enjoyed western music and dancing. I don't know if either of you will remember me, but I would love to talk to you if you have time. (816-246-8060)

Jim, I was so sorry to learn about your sister. Nancy Gray had worked with her and tells me she was a wonderful lady. Hope you are doing well.

My prayers and thoughts are with Carol's family during this time of grief. Know that Carol touched SO MANY lives in a very positive way. She was an amazing boss and friend. I find comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain and she is now smiling, with her beautiful, smile in Heaven above.

Love you Carol!

My deepest sympathy to The Family of Carol. I knew her for a few brief years when I met her at Graceland, and I truly loved her. She had a personality that would not quit. And I am very thankful that I was able to get to know her and keep in touch through emails for awhile. I will never forget her infectious smile. God Bless and keep her in his loving arms! Sincerely Joann Doerflein AKA- Pepper.

Mom, I don't even know where to begin. My heart is so heavy.I'm still numb. I know that you are no longer in pain, but it doesn't make me miss you any less. I guess I'm a little selfish, but I wasn't ready for you to leave us so soon. Until we meet again, give Brandon and Grandma Butler big hugs for me. I love you always and forever <3
