Dear Gary and family, Carol was the most giving person I knew. She was always there to help when I needed it and, above all, she would talk with me and listen when I was going through the loss of my mother. I, also, enjoyed playing golf with her as she enjoyed the game so much. I will sorely miss her. I will keep you in my prayers.
