We know it's been difficult to say goodbye to Dad and now Mom- but we know their reunion was sweet. What a joy to think of them strolling the streets of gold- no pain, no sorrows, and no illness. Praying God's comfort and grace to all of the Carroll family during this time- you each have touched our lives in a special way over the years- know that you are loved and prayed for!
