John and family, Im truly saddened to hear the news of my good friend Carol's passing. I wish I could have attended the funeral but I was out of town for two weeks. I have so many fond memories of Carol and the good ole bus days, haircuts and our many hours in the car to Branson. That was a good time.
Your friendship and love for your family was second to none. Thank you for always being there for me. May God bless you all always and forever
With love, Shirley Bednarke. ( Elgin. )
