I have only known Carol for just under 1 year, but she became like family to me. One phrase I will always remember her saying is: "I'm just sayin"!! She is going to be truly missed by all. I loved her so much and look forward to the day when I see her in Heaven!!! I am so blessed that I have been able to know Donna and I hope and pray I get to know her more over the coming years!!!
