she was elye's grandma witch was a g so rip to elyes grandmother.

Sad about my true friend. She was a delight to work with for many years. She enjoyed helping anyone. One day at work I told her I needed to rent a truck to move. She said, "Larry (that's what she called me), you don't need to rent a truck Bill has one used his. That was the first time I met Bill when he came over with the truck. We have been friends ever since. I got another job and had not seen or talked with her for over two years. I called her and said --Carol, you know those friends who call when they need something, I am one of them. She said, we are friends Larry you can call anytime. Well, I told her what I needed and she said - OK Bill will call you back. He did and solved the problem. Carol is one of a kind. A true friend. I loved to hear her talk. Bye my true friend - - rest in peace. Your friendship can never be forgotten. Carol was just like a sister to me. Love you forever

This sweet lady will be missed very much. She was an inspiration to so many.

Sending healing Prayers and comforting hugs. We go a long way back. Carol will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

She was always a ray of Sunshine with a smile on her face. What a joy to have known Carol. Much love to the family

I lived next door to Carol during high school. She was wicked smart and the most determined lady. We got a pair of baby ducks and enjoyed them. Until they got too big so we took them to a pond at a local cemetery. She was a blessing to everyone who share her life. She is no longer in pain. Take care to her family. Love you all.

My heart is heavy with this news. Please remember we are a phone call away and we are praying for your family. She and Gene are catching up by now- just Sitting at the feet of Jesus- finally at Peace.

So very sorry to hear this..Carol was such a sweet lady and a wonderful teacher..

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
