Dee and family,
I am honored to have the privilege of knowing your mom as I was growing up. You and your family have been in my prayers during these last few months, and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers during these days to follow. I will remember your mom every time I look at the "Genuine WV Rag Rug" she gave me as a wedding gift back years and years ago. Although I know this new chapter in your life will be difficult, I know that you take comfort in knowing that you will one day see your mom again. Love ya!

I worked with Carroll for many years at Lazarus. She was such a nice person and always smiling. She will be sadly missed by all that knew her. Your loss is Heaven's gain.

Dave, Scott, Dee and families,
I am so sorry that I cannot make the trip up for the services. Aunt Carrol knows how much she meant to me as my "evil advocate" (ask Dee)! LOL I will continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Wish I could be there with you.
Love, kisses and prayers,
Tammy

I am a neighbor on Jacqueline Heights & a sister in Christ. You have been in my prayers for many months. (Norma Baker is a prayer partner of mine) Carol had now had the ultimate healing. Dave, I'm sure there is great emptiness, lonliness & pain, & that of your family is grieving with you at this time. My prayers for you continue. God Bless you & keep you. May his Grace give you peace & calm at this time. I am just at the top of the hill in front of you if I can help.

Carrol and I were in BYF together as teenagers at Olive Baptist Church.

My prayers and condolences go out to the family of Carrol. I knew her and the family when I was a teenager at Fellowship Baptist. David and Carrol were such sweet, Christian people. She will be sadly missed here on earth, but to be envied because she is at last in the arms of Jesus.
