My connection to Carol is a family one through the MAST clan. My Grandma Tillie was a MAST. My parents were friends with CARL & EVELYN, Carol’s parents. My sister Danya and I would play with Carol & Bev when our families got together. Seems like yesterday. Carol was a true beauty, inside and out. Craig & Lori live just a block away. I pray for the true Peace of mind that comes from knowing Carol is with Jesus and Elizabeth, and all her loved ones that went before her. God Bless & RIP.
Craig & family our thoughts and prayers are with you all @ this sad time. RIP 🙏 Joanne & Jeff
