I didn't know Carol well but I know my cousin, John, and how happy they were and how beautiful their family is. This message is for you, John. Life dealt you a terrible blow to lose Carol so young. I admire your strength, optimism, and faith. You are such a special man.

John, Kate and Megan ,

I just heard of Carol's passing.

She was always a bright spot in my day, almost everyday, during my tenure at Lakeside Foods. Her determination to find the "healthiest" choices for
"John's" dinner and her joy at sharing photo's of the baby girls was a true testament to her love for her family. It was such a pleasure to share those moments with her at the store.
My most heartfelt condolences to all of you, the world has lost a true ray of sunshine!

John, Kate and Meghan,

I had Carol for my 2nd grade year at FHC. That year I was restricted to a wheel chair due to extensive leg surgery. I will never forget how she helped me get around and at times had to carry me from place to place. She was also a great teacher! I'm so sorry for you all and will keep all of you in thoughts and prayers.

Carol and I taught 3rd grade together for several years at Faith Hope. She was a wonderful teacher and friend! I loved our years together working as a team. We had a lot of fun and so did the students! I am fortunate to have counted her among my friends all these years! We never lost touch and remained very good friends. My thoughts and prayers are with John, Kate, and Meghan during this difficult time. I know Carol is watching over all of us and those who knew her were truly blessed by her kind and genuine ways. I know I was and will miss my friend very much!
