It is with great sadness to learn of Carol's passing. She will be missed beyond measure. Her contagious smile and laughter were always present, despite the hardships of her health...she endured these difficulties with grace. It was an honor to work with her and a blessing and privilege to know her... until we meet again... love you, Carol (Susan)

I will always remember Carol with love, as well as thankfulness, and a smile. She was a very special lady, helping those patients at the hospital manage their, often complicated, discharge needs. She served with much joy, even in spite of her own significant health challenges. She came to work each day, with her goal of being of service to others. She encouraged both patients and staff alike. She is missed already, but I know that, because of her faith in God, she is in the presence of our Lord, joyful, laughing, probably riding a horse without her oxygen on.
