Carol was one special lady. If you met her you were instantly one of her very best friends, she loved with her whole heart. I pray God's comfort for her family, that He will always bring the best memories.

What a joy to have known Carol and to be blessed by her cheerful and caring spirit. She had a gift for letting you know you were loved. She will be remembered fondly, and especially each time we visit her Edward Jones office.
