Carol Burr was an amazing person. When we moved into the ward, she was involved in a lot of things. She was on the general board of the Sunday School. In Relief Society in the ward she would often talk about what was going on in the future of the Sunday School, of having to teach our families at home. Now, with Come Follow Me, think back on that. We really enjoyed knowing Carol. She was a very caring person. She would make you feel very welcomed at her house. We loved having our block Christmas partiesa part of it at her house. Everything was very put-together. Beautifully done. We are so sorry for your loss. Losing a mother is a hard thing to endure because you find that you go back and think of her and her influence all your life. But allow yourself to mourn her death and let yourself be warmed by the treasure chest of memories she has left you. Bill was surprised that Carol lived in Moab the last 2 years of High School, because Bill lived there too. They must have been in the same ward and have sat in the same Sacrament meetings. Our love and prayers are with you. - Hawley and Bill Barrett

Teri and I have the utmost respect for Carol. She was the epitome of pleasant, bright and engaging. I enjoyed chatting with Carol, while in the dental chair, for many years. From time-to-time, I still quote her to others. Here's one: "the profit margin in the restaurant business is how thin you slick the tomatoes". Carol and Teri's mother, LaMon were dear friends for decades. Teri and I send our deepest and sincere condolences to the Burr family. Heaven is a better place today with Carol and LaMon there!

I am so sad to hear that Carol suffered with Alzheimer's the last years of her life. She was a very important person in my life, having been the key to bringing me and my husband, Brent, together. I'm not sure I would have married Brent otherwise! Our story is a very interesting one, and I am so grateful for her courage and love to reach out to those who needed help. Like all of you, I look forward to seeing her again one day and thanking her.

So sad to read of Carole's passing. She has been a wonderful friend since meeting her in1958. After not seeing her for several years, we reconnected at her book signing then a few years later when she was residing at Legacy in Provo. Our family and the Reids enjoyed a wonderful relationship while in the Brentwood Ward and later in life. My sincere condolences to Carole's family. I look forward to seeing her and her mother, Rose Marie when I go to the other side of the veil. God Bless you
Sincerely,

Carole used to "borrow" my little brother, Rob Young, to take on trips with Bryan and Brett so he could be an example to them of how not to act wild and crazy. He was a few years older than Bryan and loved going with them to their cabin.
Once on their way there, Carole stopped at a 7-11 and asked Robert to go pick out a cassette that they could listen to on their way up. She paid for it and it happened to be a Carpenter's Album and she loved it. She raved about what a good choice he had made.
Imagine asking an 11-year-old kid who isn't even your child to go pick out a cassette that she paid for and she loved and then give him that much praise for it.
She never ceased to amaze me.
