Yesterday

Brandon and family,
I worked with Carol at the health department for several years; our team met socially with our spouses. She was very special.......as a woman, a friend, and a nurse. She met people with open arms, and in her quiet manner she shared her love and caring to others without expecting rewards. She epitomized the TLC in Nursing care. She will be missed.............with Love,
Maryann Kick
