My deepest sympathy to Alice , the family and friends of Carole. I pray you each find comfort as God strengthens you during this difficult time. May you find peace as you remember her laughter and days of yesterday´s. Alice when you find yourself outside at dusk dark glancing up, in the far distance you see a lone star, seemingly
Twinkling ever so brightly. It would be Carole, letting you know, she is okay now in her new home with Jesus.
