Jim and Keith,
As soon as I saw the smile on the picture, I knew. Carol was a lovely woman who I will always remember from my childhood as the most loving mother on the street. She ALWAYS wore that smile. My deepest sympathies to you both and your family on the loss of a wonderful woman. The Lord picks only the most perfect blooms for his flower garden in heaven. Carol certainly fits the bill.

Dear Jim & Keith,
I am deeply saddened to read of the passing of your dear wife an mother. I have such fond memories of her, as our "room mother" at Licking View, and from my early years at Armco in Zanesville. No matter where we crossed paths, in the mall, or a restaurant, she always had a smile and kind words. You are both in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.
