My mother didn’t have an easy life.I made no better. But I loved her more than anything in this world. I buried her ashes with her mother .my grandmother on or about a week ago. So rest in peace mom. Love michael
A sweet lady.Always kind
Carol was a wonderful person. I did odd jobs for her from time to time
Carol, I just heard you were gone and my heart is broken because we never got to say goodbye. I’ll always cherish your love, support and friendship since we met in 2008. I love you Lady...keep the porch light on for me and the coffee hot cause our dream of being 2 old ladies sitting on the porch shooting the breeze will live in my heart until I see you again!!
Carol will be missed and will always stay in my thoughts and prayers! I first met Carol when working at the Little Rock Area Office for OSHA. She took me under her wing and became a close friend, confidant, and sometimes even a mother to me. Carol never held back on her thoughts or opinions when advising me, always giving me straight and honest answers which I will miss the most! I feel blessed to have met and known Carol. I love the picture of Carol and Sammy, her protector. My condolences to the family, which was Carol’s whole life and heart, especially her grandchildren. May she continue to live on through her family.
May God bless and comfort your family at this time. Just Jesus.

For the short time that I new Carol, I new that she loved her family, and her sweet dog before he passed. She will be greatly missed. My prayers go up to her family.
Carol was my long time friend. We met in 1980 while I was at DEA school and she was working for Alexandria PD. We stayed in touch over the years and occasionally visited each other. I know she is with The Lord. We talked about her relationship with the Lord many times over the years. See you soon Carol.
Carol, her humor and big heart will be missed.
We will miss Carol, she was a dear friend to so many. I love this photo of Carol and Sam. I took that photo of Carol. We were sitting on her back screened in porch and there was a gentle rain falling. We sat and talked for s long time and it is one of my fondest memories of our time together.
