May God's Grace help the family and friends of Carol during this difficult time. When I think of Carol, I think of a happy person, a person with an infectious laugh, and such a positive person. I miss our old lunch times at J.W. Fair. I looked forward to her stories and fun personality. Carol loved her family.

Carol will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. She was the best wife, mom, grandmother, and friend. I truly believe she will be looking down from heaven and watching over her family. You will feel her presence in little things that will touch your hearts.....just look for the signs.
She's making heaven a little brighter for sure. Love and miss you dear cousin! Rest In Peace and may the perpetual light shine upon you.

Carol and I were colleagues & friends for over 25 years at J.W. Fair MS in San Jose. She was a dedicated educator, a proud San Jose native, and truly one of a kind, especially with her big smile and infectious laugh. What I appreciate most was her deep and enduring love of family: her beloved Russell, her two "babies", Michele & Jimmy, her Mom, her Sisters, and oh those three treasured grandchildren, Alexandria, Aden and Arik. They were the center of her universe, and her love endures through each of them. May you find comfort in the time you had together, your memories, and in one another. That is what Carol would want, and, yes, she will continue to direct you from Heaven above! God's blessings and comfort to all of you.
