Barb, I was so saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. We worked together at General Electric.
She was one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever known. She sent cards and letters to me every Christmas. I know she will be missed, but I know she’s rejoicing with the angels now!

I’ll never forget her precious smile and giggles. My heart will always be grateful to her for sharing yearly Christmas cards to our family. I loved my Aunt Carol dearly. I’ll see you in heaven with my mom.
Love, Brenda

So sorry to hear of Carol’s passing. She was a great inspiration for our church. We will always remember her. May God bless and keep you in his arms. I think of Carol ever time I see a butterfly, she talked about them a lot.
