Carol was my cousin. She was the sweetest kindest most caring person. She helped out my parents as they got older and needed assistance. She was like a second daughter to them.

I didn’t know Carol real well, but I do know that she loved other people and was a very giving person. I remember going to her house for several Sweet Charity Christmas parties. So nice of her to open up her home to all of us volunteers. She will be missed by all of us. Praying for comfort for those who are left behind.
