Dear Jack & family,
We were so sad to hear Carol passed away. Some of our best memories at Snoqualmie Pass were with you guys. All the spagetti dinners and good wine, with our dogs curled up in front of the fire, thoroughly spoiled by Carol.
I remember the New Years Eve we snow shoed with our wine glasses in hand to watch the skiers at the Summit Ski Area. The forest service hikes, hunting beavers, and campfires....so much fun. Carol loved everyone and was such a good friend. We will always
miss Carol and we will never forget her. Carol loved her family dearly and our prayers are with all of you. Jo & Mike Hunter

Uncle Jack, Jim, and Dodie, I was sad to hear the news that Auntie Carol had passed away. I have so many wonderful memories that I will cherish. I will never forget snow shoeing at midnight on Snoqualmie Pass, taking Snoopy with me to Dr Tarica's office, the family Christmas parties, and all the wonderful things Auntie Carol did for me. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love, Trish
