Bob & all of Carol's family,
I was so sorry to hear of Carol's sudden passing. She was such a wonderful, loving, giving & caring person. She did so much to make our Fife Class of 1960's 50th Class Reunion the success that it was last summer. She always seemed to have a smile on her face and willing to step in to help wherever she could. She will be greatly missed.
God's Blessings to all of you in her family,

The Fair folks are so, so sad. We loved her so much and appreciated all of her hard work on behalf of our Fair Museum. She was the best to work with, so kind, a gentle spirit, generous of heart and had great passion for the museum. We are happy for Heaven, but we will miss her so much. Our prayers are with her family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I only met Carol once or twice, but worked with daughter, Christy, for several years and have played flute in the Puyallup Valley Community Band with her for several years. Please accept my sincere sympathy. = Gwen Scarfo
