Carol and Joe always loved celebrating Halloween with friends at their parties. I went to Liberty High with Carol and was in her wedding to Chip. We spent time on several trips to visit Chuckie. Carol was always a very devoted mother to her children. I still have a few of her ceramics from over the years.

I was so sorry to hear about Aunt Carol. I apologize for not being able to attend her service but my husband Bruce was admitted in critical condition on Tuesday. She was so wonderful and i am glad i stopped in recently and spent time with her. I actually thought if her Sunday morning and then my dad called me later to tell me. Thoughts and prayers to Uncle Joe and Joey. She will be missed!
