I'm still thinking of and remembering Carol. We were roommates at CWC - she in art and I in music and both from small towns (Colorado and Wyoming). We enjoyed our 2 years together so much. And had kept in touch all these years. Just still cannot believe she's gone. Loved her art work and have saved the original cards she sent to me over the years.
Thrilled that the art show is this Sunday.
Thinking, too of Roger, Caroline and Nancy. Deepest sympathy to you all.
Warmly, Sharon

Carol was our first watercolor teacher and she was so good at it. We so enjoyed our classes in her home and will miss her and her smile very much.

I am so saddened to hear of the death of my teacher and friend, Carol Worlock...I enjoyed several years of weekly watercolor classes at Carol's and Roger's home; these gatherings were lovely, calm, and happy times together with a group of friends, all inspired by Carol's gentle encouragement and expertise.

Rol and I send much love too all the family.
