We knew Carol and Wally from the Credit Union movement. A fun couple. If you were a friend, you were their friend forever. So sorry to hear about your mother Susan. Our prayers are with you and Gill.

Carol was a wonderful lady. Always full of vim and vigor. Never at a loss of words. She was definitely the life of the party. She was kind and generous, never without a smile. I have known her from the early 1960's. She was a devout Christian and a supurb mother & devoted wife. The world was a better place having Carol in our midst, will be sorely missed and never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family of which she had many.
