To Carroll Wilson family,
Sorry to hear of the passing of Carroll. Did not get to see him much since he moved away from Shippensburg. But went I throught of him or heard his name I throught of grandpa Carroll Zimmerman, which I am sure he was named after. I will be praying for the family and may Gods light shine over you in the coming days. God Bless.

Barbara and Frankie, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know it was a great shock to you. I will always remember how much Daddy thought of Carroll and how good Carroll was to him. If a drop of rain fell, one would call the other to see how much the other got--they can share that information personally now. May your memories help you through this time of grief. In His Love, Carol Fisher
