I am very blessed to have known you Carol. You and I had so many Laughs that there is no way I will ever forget you.
You taught me so much about life that I will take with me the rest of my days here on this earth.
I would be so proud if I even get to leave1/10 of an impression or impressions on others to enrich their lives like you have enriched mine and so many others.
My thoughts and prayers are with all who knew and Loved you as I do, and I know that after you get through with setting St Peter straight, you will have peace and harmony with all who are with you.
Rest in Peace girl, you deserve it.
