Grandma Ringo,
You will be very missed. Coming down to Florida will never be the same. Especially since I can't hear your many stories that I always enjoyed hearing. You're in a better place now. Everyone misses you and loves you very much.
Love your granddaughter,
Taylor Ringo

Carol was a wonderful person that so many people will miss. Both my parents loved her for sure. And for a person who didn't give a crap about football, she won her share of Monday Night pools!!

Carol, I thought about you all day today, like many days, just thinking about everything you did for me. 10 years ago, I remember us at the mall, looking for Bryan his first pair of shoes. I was getting so frustrated with you because we looked and looked until you were happy with the shoes. We couldn't get the stiff shoes, they had to be bended and comfortable. Till this day, I still have those shoes you bought for him. I will never forget you Carol. I know you will be looking down on us shaking your head when we do something you don't approve of. You will forever be in my heart.

Herb and family,
I am so sorry for your loss Carol was a great friend and you and carol are like family. she always looked on the bright side of everything, and everything was different and brighter in her eyes. You always knew you were in trouble when she gave you that big grin and shook her head. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers, and Carol is looking down on all of us from heaven.
Love you all!

Herb and family, I can't even begin to tell you all how wonderful Carol was. I knew her for 17 years and we shared the same birthday. She taught me so many things. I remember picking her up and taking her shopping and going out for lunch. Carol was like a grandmother to me. I am going to miss her so much.
