Ms Carol will always hold a special place in our heart. She was always so kind with a story to tell. When Jeff and I were looking to buy a home she said her gone would be perfect for us and three weeks later we bought it and she was so right. We love it! We will see you again Ms Carol. Thank you for loving us. The Manley Family.

I met Carol through Betty and Bill Kumbera (Dad and Step-mom). I believe Betty and Carol went to school together. Before they had to move to Wyngate, Betty and Carol enjoyed shopping and lunch. She often visited them at Wyngate and brought great joy with her visits. When Carol moved, she and I kept in touch through email and exchanged Christmas card wishes every year, including this past Christmas. She always told me about her visits to her daughters and how much she enjoyed her puppy. Carol was very kind and quite the lady. I'm glad I knew her. Her family has my deepest sympathy.

Sending prayers to you. Carol was so very special.I've had her in my thoughts for the past several week. They say when this happens it's a "Wink from God"an amazing book. I've been thinking and sending prayers.Carol took amazing care of allergy problems at the ENT group...we stayed close and she frequented my shop, often to look for tapered candles for you and to share Dancing With the Stars choices and most of all the show appearance.The love of her family warmed my heart and she will always have a place in mine. God bless all of you🙏❤️

She will be missed terribly. But her love for life, and her family will stay with me forever. I will pass down that same passion to my child and his children. I'm comforted knowing she's with her one true love and best friend, Uncle Chuck. Together they were the absolute best! We love you Aunt Carol.
