Carol is missed here at the Forslund condominiums. She always had a bright smile and nice words to make you feel good.

John, Kristen and Lisa, Aiden and Emma, We are sad to learn of Carol's passing. We have such fun memories dating back to John's residency, getting to know the girls as they grew, and hearing of the grands. Carol always was faithful with anniversary cards (51 yrs) and Christmas card/letter. Many have stated wonderful tributes, which are so true. She will be deeply missed by those whose lives she brightened. Jack and Jo Schripsema Hulst

I was so sad to hear of Carol´s passing. She was truly such a wonderful, cheerful person. I first met her at the MAC. She took the opening shift regularly and greeted everyone with her beautiful smile. She always made coming to the club special. She also introduced me to her daughters, who were lovely. I got to know Kristin more. We shared so many good memories working together. Carol and I still exchanged Christmas cards and loved seeing how everyone was doing. I am so sorry I couldn´t...

Carol was a bright light in everyone´s lives!

I am deeply saddened to learn of Carol's death. I thought of her last week as I drove over the North Park bridge. She was the first to welcome me to the Grand Rapids Rowing Club, (old location). Her brilliant smile lit up that otherwise dingy, damp space. We enjoyed many hours together on the river, rowing, talking, challenging each other, and taking in the beauty of nature. She was a one of a kind - a thoughtful and joyous person. It was a honor to be her friend. Peace be with you...

I was deeply saddened by the news of her death I always enjoyed our chance meetings over the years Such a welcoming smile My thoughts and prayers go out to John and family at this time of great loss RIk Vydareny
