Carol was an amazing Godly woman. She helped greatly in a time that was much needed. Without her support of helping us through the tragedy of little Brent, I am not sure of how we would have made it through. Truly thankful for her.

Cousin David and wife Jeannie, and sister-in-law Deborah West. I am still in shock from hearing of Carol´s death. Carol and I talked often by phone. I will miss her calls, her wit, and will miss sharing spiritual truths and information. She knew more family genealogy than anyone. We as a family will never forget the way in which she helped with little Brent. In her short lifetime (78 years), she accomplished so much and her life of faith and her commitment to pray for others will be remembered by everyone who knew her. Sending love and prayers to all Carol´s family and friends. Cousin Irene Churukian, Rochester, NY

I met Jane back in the day when I first worked at McNees Wallace & Nurick. She was unforgettable and fun to be around, not to mention her wit. She was quite a joy.

I was very sorry to hear of Carol`s passing. I first met Carol when I started at McNees Wallace & Nurick In 1980. She was one of the first people I met and was so nice to me and we just became friends. I just had lunch with her not that long ago and she was still as feisty as ever. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and I´m sure she is up in heaven, singing up a storm.
