To Carol's Family,

I am very sorry about your loss. Carol was a wonderful person. She and I were good friends when we worked at Spurwink School together in 1999. She always made me laugh. We even stayed in touch through email afterward. The last time I saw here was at Interstate Bowling. I had no idea she bowled until then. I have often thought of her and wondered how she was doing. I will always remember her and she will be greatly missed.

My most sincere condolences to all of you. Carol was a very special person. I'll never forget the first time Harold brought her to West Forks to meet all of us. I'll also never forget the countless hours of cribbage we all played while sitting around the kitchen table of my parents home. Bless each and every one of you and cherish all of your memories. I know I will.

With my deepest sympathy

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. From the day I met Carol @ the Cancer Center, she had a special place in my heart. She always seemed to have a glow in her eyes and I enjoyed teasing her. I will miss her so much :( I will also cherish the scarf that she recently made for some of us girls at the center. My thoughts & prayers are with you at this time.

Michelle, I know you know but I want to say it again. I am here for you always, and your mom does know just how much you really loved/love her and remember no matter where you are or what your doing she will still always be with you in your heart. Keep her alive with fond memories and wonderful stories. P.s. did your mom know about us and the Mt. Dew back in high school???? she's seems to have known a story question is is it the same one as ours?

To Carol's family,
Please accept my sympathy for losing such a wonderful person as she was. I worked with Carol during the ice storm and had a blast. Her sense of humor was a joy. I'm sure she shared the Mt. Dew story.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
