So glad I had the pleasure of knowing Carole. She was a jewel! She loved working on her lawn especially taking care of her flowers. She was very adept at crocheting. Fortunately I have an Afghan she gave me on a visit to her home with her brother, Gale. My sympathy to her family. Wish I could have said "goodbye Love you, Carole!

Gramma, you will always be my favorite person. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and showing me how to always be a better human. I will never forget our time together and the conversations we shared. You may not have known it but you were always one of my biggest inspirations. I love you forever.
