Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Since the days at Crouch, when our children(Beth, Steve and Mike) when to school together, Carol has been a bright spot in our days. She always had a smile and a cheerful word when we'd run into each other or work together on school events. She will be missed by all who knew her! Kathy and Russ Clark
