    Carol was a co-worker and a friend for many years when both her and I worked at Suttle. She always had a smile on her face and had a bubbly, warm and genuine quality that was always extended to everyone she met. She was a joy to work with. She will be missed. My condolences to both Ron, Mitchell and her family.
