It pains me knowing your gone, I really miss you, and I'm sorry I couldn't be there to support you or to say my final goodbyes, but I think I should say them here. You always made my weekend when i would come to dad's to see you guys i remeber asking for chicken and dumplings and then the next week there was a pot sitting on the stove, and you had made sure I was the one to get the first bite. You always made me blankets and quilts, from birth to teen you made me Thomas the train to Spiderman. I hope that wherever you are your enjoying a nice and relaxing afterlife. Love you from the the moon back.
Words cannot describe how much I love you! I can't believe your gone. I was so blessed to have you as a mother and Dylon's Nana. You touched our lives in so many ways. You will always be in our hearts forever. I love you momma!!
So, sorry for your loss prayers to the family and may God comfort all of you!

Oh Mama, I haven't yet found the words, if words can even express the feeling I have inside me right now. You've always been my "go to" for everything. You were my person, the one who stood with me, when no one else would have. You have taught me so much about life, and everything I have, everything I am, I owe to you. You are one of the strongest woman I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I Miss your laugh, I Miss You already.....laughing with you..... Lord knows all we did was laugh when we were together. I Miss You already, nothings the same; but we will be OK. We will continue on with the lessons you've taught us and the love you gave us. Fly High Mama, until we meet again, I LOVE YOU!!!
RIP CAROL . I love you sweet lady and will always remember your sweet smile
Carol was always a huge part of my life and Hunters life. Even after so many years Carol was like a second mother to me to the very end. Carol's passing is hard to wrap my head around. She will be greatly missed.
I have been very blessed to have known Carol. She will be dearly missed. Her family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Carol will be truly missed by all who knew her. Her beautiful smile, genuine laughter and gift of conversation to everyone. I will always remember her and smile with fond memories. You can’t help but feel joy when you think of Carol; she was fun and loved her family and friends in a special way. My prayers are for the family in the days ahead that God will bring peace and comfort to you and that you will grow closer to Him for healing. God bless you all.
So sorry ralph for loss Scott and carrie
Carol, you were so loved. You taught me so much about quilting. You showed me how to load my frame, maintain my machine, and do free motion quilting. If I had a problem, you’d be at my house in a nano second to show me how it was done. You would finish my projects, when I couldn’t get them finished for one reason or another. You helped me keep up with Jeff, when he and Scott were up to mischief together. My tears have flowed, but I know you are ok now.
Miss you sis I just wish we had lived closer . You were a wonderful sister best anyone could ever have. Love you and would you tell mom I love her. I was so glad that I was able to see you awhile back. I wished I hugged you tighter that day. Your always going to be in my heart. I am not going to be able to be there at funeral forgive me .Love you carol
My heart and prayers go out to you all hope all the Memories are comforting
