Philip and I were so saddened to read this sad news tonight. We just had a great chat at the grocery store within the last two weeks. It was good to talk as I hadn’t seen her in awhile but she was really tired out and just sitting for bit before finishing her shopping.
Carol was always the nicest person and we always were glad to see her and it seems everyone else was! Despite her failing health, she continued to look on the bright side and count her blessings.
Please accept our very deepest condolences. We know you will all miss her kindness and wonderful smile.
