Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We attended church with Carol. My grandkids called her the cookie lady..because she was always the cookie lady at special times. She made my grandaughter special clothes for a doll she gave her...after a painful surgey. She had such compassion for the sick and hurting...she was a dear lady and a dear friend...she will be missed..thinking of your family at this time...

We will miss "Grandma Carol" as Lexi & Skye called her. She was full of life, knew something about everything. She was fun and easy to talk to. We were looking forward to having her at more holiday gatherings in our home, over the years she had become a member of our family and loved. You are in our prayers Tam and family, we love you all.
