Carol was a pleasure to work with and was always a congenial colleague. Her commitment to serving others and stewarding students in higher education was exceptional. Thank you for your warm personality and comradery.

Carol was a lovely person. She and Jim were a great couple. They complimented each other. Enjoyed seeing them out when I lived in Kinston. Working at Southwood School I knew her grandchildren that she adored with all her heart. Heaven has received a great one!

Carol was a wonderful loving Christian woman! I played softball with her for the church and we all had a good time. Jim and Terri, I am sorry to hear that Carol has gone to be with our LORD but we know we will see her again. My heartfelt love goes out to you and all the family. Prayers for the family. Jean C.
