Carol, we met working at Venable. I still think of you every time I pass by Nova Avenue or go to Suburban Seafood. Continue to rest.

I am so sorry and sadden for your loss. Carol will be missed. I miss passing by her desk and checking the bowl to see what kind of candy is there today, for her sharing knowledge when it comes to complex assignments, and laughter on a lunch break. She was a good co-worker and friend. May God comfort & be with you all. Still can't believe she is gone. Rest in peace, Carol.

When I think of Carol, I see her and her ever present candy bowl at work over which we talked many times and how we shared many laughs at her "counter." I pray that God will bring peace and comfort to Carol's family and friends during this difficult time.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you Lashahn , Andrea and family of Carol. What a sudden and tragic loss. However, I will have fond memories of Cousin Carol. She afforded several photos of my uncles and aunts, that I had not see before. Carol even afforded information about our genealogy, that I was ecstatic to learn of and share with my brothers and sisters. Although the connection with Carol was very recent and short, it was most celebrated and will be cherished. What a wonderful person and she will be missed!

Carol, your friendship to me was invaluable. Thank you for all of the encouragement, inspiration, motivation and just plain fun. We shared an enviable bond and I loved it. You demanded that I keep pushing, you would not let me give up. We shared so much with one another and I will miss that so much. Things I would never share with anyone else, I shared with you because with you, I could be me. I will miss all of the good times, particularly, sharing 2 doz Jumbo Crabs from "our spot" or enjoying stuffed shrimp from G&M or simultaneously reading one of Baldacci's novels. I always told you we were "Lifers" and we still are. Thank you for all you've done for me and all you've taught me, it will never be forgotten. I will forever cherish your memory. May you have a peaceful rest.
Loving and missing you forever, "Little Girl"
