To state I will miss Carol is an understatement. She was one in a million. She always had a smile, a loving heart and the heartfelt desire to help anyone. I can picture her in heaven questioning where the Crown Royal is. My sincere prayers for her two children, as well as the rest of her family, and friends. The love of this LADY will never leave my heart. Rest In Peace, Dear Friend

So sorry to hear about Mrs. Carol passing. I still remember everything she taught me about hooking up EKGs when I started working at LCA. She was always good for laugh when our day was not going well. She will definitely be missed.

I am so sad that I will never see Carol's beautiful smiling face again. She was an absolutely wonderful and giving person and would pop in Lake Sherwood Village just to say hello and sit in the chapel and admire the cross Jon made that hung there. God has a most special angel now and we will always love Carol and cherish her memory.
