Carol was my grandmother. I love her very much, and I hope she knows she will be missed dearly. I was with her for the last week of her illness. It was a sad time, but we are glad she's no longer in pain. Mimi, I love & miss you always. You are my guardian angel now.

I met CC (Carol) in 1996 when Cline invited me to come into a nice friendly room and chat. I would have to set my alarm clock to come in at 6 am Pacific time to join in all the newsy, informative, and fun chat.
CC had no siblings so she and I decided we would be sisters, since my sister had passed away. We would call each other Sis now and then. As sick as CC was she sent a signed sympathy card to me when my son passed away in Oct.
I will always love and miss her.
She was one in a million......

Dear Henri, Aaron, Terry, Cindi & family. May I first express my sincere thoughts for you, at the sad loss of Carol. I first got to know Carol on Myrtle Beach through Dave and Linda. (My Auntie & Uncle) That was almost 9 years ago. Even though I never got to meet Carol, she came across as being a very loving and caring lady. Carol always made me smile, and sometimes cry, with the jokes and verses that she sent via email. I will miss her dearly, as I thought of Carol as a real friend! Love to you all, Jeanette (Bluetack)

Dear friends and family thank you so much for your heartfelt sentiments. You all meant so much to her (god help us if the computer wasn't working) it was her passion!
I am comforted by those of you who treasured her as much as we do. I can't imagine my life without her. I know she will always be looking over us.
I love you Mom!

Dear Henri, Aaron, Terry, and Cindi, as well as all grandchildren and extended family members,
I know Carol has had many years of illness but I know she handled it like a "trooper". I know she will be an one of God's hard working angels.

I first met carol (or cyber) in Jan 1996 in the #myrtlebeach chat room. She welcomed me with open arms and we bacame good friends almost at once. I thought of her almost as a mom. We had many years of laughter in the chat room and one of my greatest regrets is we never got to meet in real life when my wife, Linda, and i came over for a room bash in 1999. I blame carol for my getting married, lol, it was her suggestion that we wed at the bash. She was going to be maid of honour but a hurricane put paid to her getting to the wedding, i have regretted that ever since.
So, to carols family may Linda and i offer what are truely our sincere condolances at the loss of your dear mother, and to Henry Carols husband. Although i am sure i will not feel her loss as deeply as you all will, but let me tell you this, it is a awefully close.
Love to you all. Cyber will never be forgotten by me and Linda.

My sincere sympathies on the loss of Carol! I "met" her on the Myrtle Beach chat room. She accepted me with open arms and she was wonderful & fun to chat with. I would have loved to have met her in person, but I never got the chance. She will be missed greatly by all.
Sincerely

You have my sympathies on the loss of Carol! I haven't "known" her very long, but I met her on the Myrtle Beach chat room. She has always been such a friend to everyone there. I would have enjoyed meeting her in person, but I never got the opportunity.
