Carol loved her family very much and loved to capture as many moments as possible through pictures. I had never met anyone who took as many pictures as she did and it was amazing what she did with those photos. I know Brian cherishes his scrapbook she made just for him. ❤ She taught me how to scrapbook and even bought me all the gadgets one year for Christmas. I will lovingly remember her for always insisting we capture each and every moment with photos and I'm glad she did! You are missed, Carol ❤
