Guestbook Signatures and Condolences

"Robert & Kyle, I am so sorry for the loss of Carol. I am just now finding this out, when I went to her Facebook page. Unfortunately, I hadn't talked to Carol in several months. I had no idea and am deeply saddened for your family. Although I never met Carol, I got to know her very well through our endless hours talking on the phone and came to love her like a sister. Much love to your family. I am only consoled by the fact that she no longer is suffering. Bless you!"

"It is hard to put into words the feelings at the passing of Carol Ann. God knew her body was tired and she needed rest. Her spirit will live on in her children. May God comfort you--Robert, David, Kristopher, Kyle, Brandon, and Eric. According to the word of God, He knows us before we were born. His countless assurances and promises are there for us to read. And He will sustain us through the most difficult of trials. "For He shall give His angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways"...Psalms 91:11 Love and prayers from us all..."

"Eric, your mom loved you so much, and I know this is one of the hardest things you'll ever have to go through. It puts me back in that place too, but I also know that you're strong and will get through this tough time. She truly is in a better place now where she no longer has to suffer. And I'm here for you always, you know that. "
