Yvonna and I are so sad to receive this news but we know Carole is with the father in Heaven tonight, I haven't had much contact with Carole over the last several years but she was always in my life from the time I was a little boy. She is my first cousin and a neighbor for many years. Our condolences to her entire family.
So sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is never easy. Know that thoughts and prayers are with you all. Thomas & Linda Dooly
May God wrap you all in his loving and comforting arms. Carole will be missed by many. Cathy Voyles
Dear Family, We didn't know of your mother's passing until yesterday. So sorry to hear it. She was a good neighbor for years and years. I remember her from when I was a little girl growing up. She always had such a pretty smile and kind words to say. You have my deepest sympathy. May God give you peace, courage, strength, and comfort during this difficult time. Jim and Clareen (Dooly) Dunn
