I meet Carol when she came to see me for her taxes. I will miss her laugh, our talks and most of all her wit. May you rest in the arms of angles till we meet again before our Lord.

Carol & I were friends for 50 yrs. We played together, we cried together, we schemed together and we lived together. Though we didn't see each other very often anymore I still considered her my best friend.
Carol, I will miss you from now until I see you again. I expect you to show me around when I join you. Until then try not to get into to much trouble. Take my friend.

Carol was my first best friend and first cousin, as our mother's were sisters. We fought, we made up, we were like sisters growing up. I am so very grateful to her Lansing friends and family who have been there for her these last 25 years. She is playing cards with all the Palmer's right now. I will miss you so much cuz.

I have known Carol since I was a little girl. She was my sister's best friend through school. I'm glad I got to get with her last year to visit a psychic together! We had a blast! We caught up on so many memories and even cried a little! I will miss her dearly but I know she is with "the gang" up there in the high skies and they are having the time of their life! My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends as she will definitely be missed. RIP Carol until we see each other again.... Give everyone a great big hug for me....

I met Carol while working at Ingham. I've known her for 25-30 years. Many fun road trips and shopping. She was a great friend and I will miss her, especially her laugh.

With deepest sympathy.
