My thoughts and prayers go out to the Toohey family. I am a friend of her son Ray. Mrs. Toohey was one of those wonderful ladies that you will never forget. She had a strong heart and desire that I see through her son.

SO VERY SORRY to hear of Carole's passing. I knew her from her shop and from the Glamourette Shop where she worked many years ago. She is a lovely person and will make a wonderful angel to watch over her family.

I am very sory to hear of Carole's death. Carole and I grew up together from childhood through the teenage years and beyond. I have such great memories of her. She always had a sense of humor and had a very positive personality. She manifested an attitude of caring and joy to all she came in contact. Thank God for her presence in our lives. Carole was a precious gift from God.
