Certainly miss her smile and love. So happy we were able to know her and that I was able to help her with her career. Most important we became closer to Koop. Love to the entire family

I knew Carol during my childhood years and the last time I saw her will be 42 years, in 3 months. When my younger sister graduated Seton Hall Law school in Piscataway, New Jersey, I was playing pool at the Holiday Inn bar and reflected back on the memories of her and her family. Carol, the song "Black Velvet" was dedicated to you. May you rest in peace and safe hands with the Lord Jesus. I myself will look forward to seeing you between the years 2050-53, or better yet, 3 years following that. You have been reunited with your late Father AND my late mother and got the excellent Christmas gift, to become well AND meet our savior. You will have a home in my heart. I know that your time in the town of Chili, New York(suburb of Rochester) may have been not long, but you will NEVER be forgotten.

Our deepest condolences to the family. I had the pleasure of taking a painting class with Ms Koop through an event at school. She was very kind and passionate and loved to teach. God bless her.

My condolences to the Koop and Oberschmidt families on the passing of Carol (CJ). It saddens my heart to know that her bright smile has been extinguished and the light she brought to those who knew her is no more. Rest in peace, Carol. You will be missed.

I knew CJ through her work with St. Mary's Social Justice Ministry. She worked tirelessly to help those in need and was a kind, caring woman with a beautiful spirit. My condolences to her family.

A brilliant light in the world with a hearty laugh, CJ was remarkable in every way. Her sense of humor, her resilience, her energy, and her love and respect for Mother Earth were matched only by her strong faith in God and love of her family. I'm honored to have been her friend and will love and remember her always. Life well lived, CJ!!!

Carol has been a beautiful blessing since high school. She has added so much greatness to this world. May she join her Carmelite brothers and sisters in their heavenly glory. Teresa, Thèrese, and John, be with her on this new journey. Peace and love.
