Carol always had a smile for me- I have missed seeing her out and about on her scooter. Carol is now pain free and in a better place.
Chuck and family so sorry to hear about your loss. Carol had a very big heart and a smile always on her face. Carol always did the Friendly Home parties from me. I enjoyed just going over not to do up her parties but just to visit with her love to hear her talk.
She will be missed. There is no easy way to say this to any of you how sorry I am as I lost my Mom on August 4th and I am still grieving but I find comfort in knowing that she is in no more pain and is having the time of her life and she is with our savior. Just like Carol dancing up a storm. May God get you through this time of sorrow and know she is in a beautiful place and she is with each and every one of you. Hurts I know the pain like everyone else time and that is what it is time heals but never forget.
Thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you.
I am going to miss Carol like I miss your mom Brenda. It is still hard for me to come to grips with your Granny and mom. But I am so sorry for the loss of “Granny”, she was special in my heart and always will be. If you ever need me you know were I am at. Also my condolences to Papa. Give him my love as well.
