17 May 2024I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was an extremely nice person and I was blessed to be able to call her my friend. I remember the first time I met your mom…it didn’t take long to become friends with her and your family.
Sending my prayers for comfort in this hard time.
Love you all!

17 May 2024I love the picture you chose for her obituary. That is the Carol that I remember. I remember how excited and the happiness on my mother’s (Lois Beasley Mallo) face when she got to spend time with her cousins. We always enjoyed our visits. I hope you have a special picture in your heart of the sister, mother, grandmother, friend that she was to you. My sincere sympathies to all. 🙏❤️
