When I first met Carol we were young with babies in our arms . Our friendship began and it continued to flourish thru the years . We laughed together ,cried together, shared our dreams and disappointments together. Time was never an obstacle, we would begin where we last left off , never missing a beat . We always knew we would be there for the other . I love Carol, she was my dear friend , and I will miss her, always . Jeanne

Carol was such a sweet and very kind neighbor to know while she was living at Glenwood Senior Living Community. She had such a wonderful smile and laugh. She also took the time to listen and talk with everyone. I will miss her very much. My condolences to her family as such a sad time. Sincerely, Marsha L Bakken
