My thoughts and prayers go out to Carol’s family and friends. There are no words to express this loss, but I hope beautiful memories of her bring comfort and help her spirit live on. To my knowledge, her deepest love was for her boys and the kitchen. Her baking/cooking skills were undeniable, as was her love for her family and friends. I know she is and will be deeply missed by all those she has touched and impacted. <3

My heart is broken with Carol’s passing. Even though the years had taken our lives in different directions, we could always pick up our relationship as if we’d spoken the day before.

In memory of my dear friend Carol.
I met Carol in 5th grade at Seele Elementary. We, also, both attended First Baptist Church where we were very active during our youth. I remember slumber parties and camp for both Church and Girl Scouts. God bless her and may she now rest in peace. She was always a smile and a laugh, she truly loved life.
Kerry, so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Carol. I remember how kindly you spoke of her. You and your family are in our prayers.
Carol and Ted Erwin
