Carol is my friend and I will miss her. I’m so glad I was able to have a long visit with her recently. She talked a lot about her childhood and wanting to be with Blaine again. I have great love and respect for this wonderful woman.

I’m almost at a loss for words. Carol understood me and always made me feel accepted and loved. She would look deep into my eyes and make me truly feel loved. Her cute humor and fun mannerisms I will always remember. She always contributed to the R.S. lessons with wisdom, humor, and a great understanding of the gospel. She will be missed so much.

Oh Carol, my sweet, happy, and adorable friend. Your beautiful smile and gleaming eyes always made my day (and eveyone who you met). You always made my heart happy whenever I saw you. Thank you!

Thank you for your always Christlike example.

I know you’ll be close by when those you love most will need you.

God speed my dear and happy friend. I’ll see you on the other side; that will be a very good day.

Your friend,
Lil

I’m so glad we were able to enjoy a lunch together at Olive Garden with your daughter not too long ago. You have always smiled even though I know you were hurting. We’ve been friends for along time but we’ll meet again and we will both be smiling. Love You Carol

I was so sad to hear about Carol’s passing. I remember her from my childhood days in 9th ward and she was my mom’s visiting teacher. She always had a smile for me and the rest of the kids when she came to visit, because she was my mom’s friend she was also interested in me. We crossed paths years later when she worked at Nature’s Sunshine. When I would go to visit my husband she would greet me with a smile and want to know how I was doing. I loved that about her. I know she treated all she crossed paths with like that. her goodness and kindness just radiated out of her. She will be missed by many people. Your family is in our prayers.

Sorry to be so slow writing this. I have appreciated my association with Carol although it was mainly through my sister, Lucile Ainge., and Marilyn and Phyllis Ashby. She was also positive and smiling although you knew she was probably hurting. My family goes back to knowing Carol’s Grandma Margaret who lived across from us. Karen, you were so good to her. May all of you be comforted at this time of sorrow.

Sorry to be so slow with this. I appreciated my association with Carol which was mainly through my sister, Lucile Ainge, and Marilyn and Phyllis Ashby. She was always kind and gracious and with a smile. Our families go back to her Grandma Margaret in Goshen. Karen, you were such an awesome caregiver. Thank you! Lots of love and care to all your families as this difficult time.
