I have many fond memories of Aunt Carol visiting at Grandma Kirks and at family gatherings. She was always so loving and kind and I am saddened to hear of her passing. My deepest sympathy to all.

Having had two brothers marry two sisters added Carol to the extended family I was a part of. Talked to her at several family gatherings. Very sweet & warm hearted just like her sisters. She will be very much missed by her family, and was loved by all that knew her.
