My sympathy goes out to you Gary, and your family. Carol was a caring and loving lady. She always had a bright smile on her face when I would see her. She will be dearly missed by all.
Marvel Blom says
My deepest sympathy to you, Gary, and to your family. Carol was the most caring and enjoyable person to know. I worked with her at Shopko and she had a way of smiling making light of things that didn’t always go as they should. Saw her often at McDonalds’ when we were there for breakfast and when she stopped there between bus routes. God’s blessings be on her family in this time of sorrow.
