I enjoyed knowing and painting with Carol. She painted wonderful watercolors.

I also have many of her Christmas ornaments. She was so creative!

May perpetual light shine upon her.

As a fellow artist and friend of Carole's we enjoyed participation in the Moana's art group. She was so talented in her floral watercolors, a gifted art teacher, and so devoted to family. I will miss her....Marty Penner
