Carol, though I did not know you personally, I came to know you through Judy. She has been on a mission to find you from the moment she found out you were missing, she has stayed strong for your family, she never gave up on anyone or and definitely not on faith. I know you are filled with pride. I believe knowing how beautiful Judy's heart and soul are, that yours are just as beautiful. May you soar through the heavens like a snow white dove looking over your family as their guardian angel. Thoughts and prayers for the entire family and peace be with you all.

Dear Carol,
I so did not want the outcome that came about from your death. I have so many fond memories of you. First as a tireless mother seeking help from the school for her boys. Next as someone who helped me out by keeping my house clean. Last by always having a smile to share with everyone. You and Mom will probably have some good conversations up there. Both of you are Angels. Hugs to you boys and your kiddos. You lost your Mom way too soon. My prayers will be with you.

To the mother of my fellow graduate Troy, and my fellow co-workers (at one point in time) Ian and Corey. You were a wonderful woman. You were never too busy to say hello or wave to a bypasser, making all of us feel special. I knew by your demeanor how much you loved your boys, the love that every child wants. You will be sadly missed by more people than you would ever know, including myself.

Carol Jo, my prayers are with you and your family and friends. Their loving search for you is over and now they can put a name to all those nameless emotions that happen when a loved one is missing, they have a name now and it is grief. This is not closure as that does not exist because love is eternal and does not know boundaries, no door closes. Love brings heaven and earth together, forever and keeps the door wide open. Grief exists because of love. How blessed you are to have so many love you.
