So sad to learn of Carol's passing...way to soon. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family....what a shock that she is gone. I am sure she is with George and her family that have passed, still very sad for Shelli and Mary Rae. We have many wonderful memories of Carol, a wonderful friend beginning in Junior High School back in the late 1950's. God Bless you dear friend, I miss you. Pat Roach Lewallen and husband Bob

Keeping both you girls and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Your Mother and I have had some great moments and our friendship has lasted for years. When we look up to the sky tonight, don't think of them as stars. Think of them as porch lights welcoming her safely home. I'm sure George and Gail are taking good care of her now as you girls have been doing here on earth. Love Deanna
