Dear George,
It was sad to learn of Carole’s passing, yet amazing to see how young and lovely she remains after these many years. I remember the fun Saturdays we enjoyed at the Braddock Skating Rink and how I attempted to emulate the outstanding skating skill of you and your sisters. I send my sincere condolences to you and your family, and wish you many blessings as Carole’s beautiful memory brings you peace.
With warmest regards,
Marty Towson Gingell

My earliest memories of Carole was as my Sunday School teacher. I learned a lot in that class. Then she invited me to an Aglow retreat and I went. What memories! It was through Carole that I was introduced to the deeper Christian walk and Holy Spirit. The hours I spent with her asking questions! Many of those times were on Thursday nights when their store was open late. Gradually over the years we lost touch except for the annual Christmas card and the note saying "well, maybe NEXT year we'll get together for that lunch." Guess it will have to wait a bit longer.

Dearest Barbara, I remember your sister Carole not only from high school and Braddock but from the jewelers she worked for through the years. She was always friendly, funny and a pleasure to know. Most of our conversations were about you and how much she missed you. I miss you too . We had such a great time in Hawaii. I offer you prayers, blessings and peace in the promise of the resurrection. Your friend, Susie Beard

Barbara, George/Susan & Marcia, we were so sorry to hear of Carole's passing. Just the thought of her brings a smile to our face and we can hear her infectious laughter. Carole and I had an ongoing joke about our reunion bombs. Her failed attempt at jello & mine at making Betty's brownies. She never failed to bring it up. Our love, thoughts & prayers are with everyone.

I knew Carol as a friend in the local Aglow. She was always smiling and it was contagious. She had the gift of encouragement and blessed me during a difficult time. I wish I had known her better, but I will remember her love towards others and how she knew the Lord. May the family be comforted knowing she is in God's presence.
