Not sure what to say?

Whitney and Kimberly - and the whole Singleton clan,

It's taken me this long to be able to write in here! Whitney and Kimberly, I admire you so much - I think about your Mom all the time. She was not only my mentor professionally - but such a good friend. I confided in her with so much. She is truly missed by everyone who knew her. Every sunny day, I always think of her shining on all of us. I will keep you girls in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Samantha Bickelman

Dear Whitney,
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. It was quite a shock! She was a truly wonderful person & one I will never forget. She gave me that plaque after cheerleading was over about how important it was to be a good person in a child's life and I still have it to this day! She certainly was a good person. Love & Best Wishes Your old cheerleading coach, Sherry Tyler :(

I knew Carol many years ago when I worked at the Co-op as it was called then. Carol was one of the most wonderful people I have ever meet. She always had a smile on her face and a good word to share with everyone. She will be truly missed as she touched many lives.

So sorry to hear the news. Carol was one of the most energetic and enthusiastic people I have had the opportunity to meet. Carol's legacy will be her attitude, concern of others and her servant heart. You consider yourself lucky if you knew her. So sorry. May God be with you during this time.

Dear Kimberly and Whitney and the entire Singleton clan,
Thank you for sharing Carol with us at UFPC, she was our "Mary Sunshine" every single day! I think of all of those obstacles that she taught us were actually opportunities! There will be so many future occasions where I will look to her for her wisdom, but honestly, even more for the absolute joy and fun she brought to my life. I will miss her as my buddy at meetings. Carol was extremely proud of her daughters, and rightly so. If...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Sherry, and your family. We love you!

I will never forget the bright smile and warm Kentucky "Hi" I received the first day I met Carol when I was knocking on Kimberly's apartment door in St. Louis. I attended law school with Kimberly and found out during orientation how close she was with her family. Carol came to visit a few months later to meet all of Kimberly's new friends. The minute the door opened up and I saw her cheery face, I knew that Kimberly had a ray of sunshine in her life. Carol made quite the impression. She had...

Kimberly and Whitney, there are no words to express how sorry I am for you and your family. Carol was one of the kindest people I have ever known. She was so smart and funny. She was a true friend who made everyone feel special and was always there when you needed her. She was a treasure and I truly feel blessed to have known her. Her memory will always be in my heart. Every time I think of her, I will think of both of you. She loved you both so much and was so proud of you. I will miss her...
