Carol was a wonderful kindhearted woman. She often spoke of making homemade candles with lilac being her favorite. She loved music and often sang along. She also talked of going out to dinner with her husband and how she missed him. I brought her lilacs last spring from my yard and she loved the way the fragrance filled her room. She will be missed by many.

Matt&Family,
I never had the pleasure of getting to know your mom. I know she carried a heavy burden after the death of her husband at such a young age. I know that you became the man of the house after your Dad's passing; a responsibility you carried well.
Matt A.K.A Buddy,
My schedule may keep me from the service. Please know know I'm thinking of you and your family now and forever.
