Gary - Lois and I have so many great memories of times shared with you and Carol and our young families(back in the Ma Bell softball days). Carol was always such a good person to be with, and we know, despite her ill health, that thru the years she was an inspiration to many. We wish we could be there for you now, but we are in FL for the winter. God Bless you and your family and may Carol rest in peace. P.S. - love her picture! That is the Carol we knew and loved.

Jenny and I are so sorry to hear this really bad news. Carol was a very kind person that we all liked very much. I did not see much of her over the last few years due to her illness but Gary would always fill me in when I saw him at the mailbox or chatting over the fence. Gary took such great care of her, he is truly the best example and role model of how a man should treat his wife.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers

We are so very sorry to learn of Carols passing. She was always so friendly and fun, and has been taken way too young as were her sisters. May they all be together in Heaven above at this moment and watching over all of you. Hugs.
