To the Family of Carol:
Thinking of you all during this difficult time. My prayers are with you.
Kim Marohl (co-worker of Carol)
Carol and I had many fun times together. Rollerskating, early morning meetings in the corners of CHS before homeroom,..she had a crush on Paul Zabiniski,,short lived. Called me Gomer for all my “Gollies”. She was beautiful inside and out and the memories will always remain. God be with her, and my blessings to the family.
Gerry and I along with Ashley extend our deepest of sympathies to Brittany and Katie and as well her ex-husband Dan whom we all met when you all lived by us in rural St. Joseph—I can still see Carol walking around the neighborhood when the girls were little and as they grew—girls–we wish you much peace in the coming days, weeks and years as life will go on without your mom in it but I am sure she will always be at your side–loving you always!
To Carol’s Family and close friends:
I am sadden to hear of Carol’s passing. She was a friend to lots of people in our class (83′) at CHS. I hope you all in your own time can find peace in your broken hearts. I know you have great memories of her as your mom, sister, daughter, aunt and friend. Lean on those thoughts, it will help.
I will keep you all in my prayer.
Sheila Veach, class mate
