Carol Jean was a long time friend of my family, as were her parents before us. We have not been together in years, but spoke over the phone initially about real estate, but end about Tessier-Carrere family stories. My condolences to my Tessier friends. Sorry for the passing of your dear sister. Drew Dodenhoff

Carol Jeanne Gibson is a beautiful very caring friend. She has always had the biggest heart she smiles and laughs in the most difficult of times which always warmed my heart. When I was a child she was always my favorite and the person I would run to immediately when I saw her to get the biggest of hugs and love. She was wonderful with children and a teacher in her own right, with all the patience she had she taught me to swim and I will never forget that day or the independence and can do attitude it gave me as a young child. All though Carol Jeanne is family she was always my friend with the biggest heart. God Bless
