Please know that I am thinking of you all during this very hard time. We’ll certainly miss having her with us, but will remember the good times we shared at the Coffee Cup.
Carol always made me feel special when I visited the Coffee Cup. My prayers are with all of us that will sorely miss her. May God welcome her home.
Carol and I went to high school together. I had been looking for Carol on and off for years and happened to stumble on her obituary and burial information. I wish we had been able to keep in touch. Looks like Carol had a full life and I was glad to read that she had a large family and grandchildren. For anyone who didn’t know Carol as a teenager, know that she was a happy girl, laughed a lot and was a good friend. Perhaps someday we will meet again on the other side.
