We met for lunch and from there a wonderful friendship developed. Carol was in remission from her first kemo and was so happy that her hair had grown

2 back. I have been three times blessed. First, having Carol as a very special friend, secondly being one of her Ladies of the Court and thirdly being Bunco buddies. Carol always had a smile for everyone. No matter what was going on in her own life, she always showed concern for those around her. In our life time we have many acquaintances but few real friends. I feel so fortunate to have known Carol and her special friendship. I will miss her terribly, but she will always be with me in my memories and in my heart.

Rick & Susie RICK ANDERSSEN, MARCH 18, 2008 Dear Brent, Shawn, and Virginia, We are thinking of you everyday and have faith that your fond memories of Carol will sustain you through this sorrow. Craig, GiGi, Devon, and Lillian CRAIG WADSWORTH, MARCH 18, 2008 There are no words that can express how much I have loved you and still do. You were like a mother to me; and I always looked up to you. You were always kind and gentle with me; like Grandma Lee, loving and always looking for the good. Not a negative thought or word; I miss you so. I miss that bright smile and that sparkle in your eyes shining brightly. I'm so proud to have been your sister. I'll always remember and cherish the two months we spent together while you were in the hospital. I watched you wither away, and you were still smiling at everyone, and scolding Shawn, me and Brent! Your memories will always be in my heart and no one can take your place. I hope one day to see you again as Jehovah promises. Rest and sleep in peace, my beloved sister. SHIRLEY ANN DUARTE, MARCH 17, 2008 Brent/Shawn - I'll always cherish the time I spent with you and your family in

3 Texas. Carol was a very special part of that. I'll never forget how she made me a part of your family. Who could ever forget movie time at the Kennedy's? It is for people like Carol that the phrase "World Class" was invented. She is and always will be missed. Neil NEIL FIGOT, MARCH 16, 2008 From the 1st day I met Carol at EDS, we "hit it off". She was a loving and caring friend. Always had a smile on her lovely face. She had such a positive outlook on life even during her battle with cancer. I admired her so much. Even though she is gone from us, she will never be forgotten. God Bless! Love, Rose and Bill Billotte ROSE M BILLOTTE, MARCH 16, 2008 Carol will be missed "GREATLY". She was an inspiration to each of us. She always had a smile, a good word for everyone, always doing something nice for someone, and looking for the best in people. We loved her very much as a fellow Red Hat sister. Carol never knew a stranger. She was always welcoming a new member and making them feel right at home. She was indeed a Queen in our Hearts! Her determination to tackle Life and all its ups and downs made her who she was. We all have the privilege to meet special people in our lives. I feel very fortunate to have Carol in mine. Brenda Roeder Contessa Paniers et Grenouilles BRENDA S ROEDER, MARCH 16, 2008 We met Carol about 30 years ago when she bought one of our Doberman Pups.

4 December. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and will remain with you as you travel through the pain of losing and on to the joy of remembering. TIM AND JULIE CRAIG, MARCH 15, 2008 Even though we did not know Carol personally, we knew her through our daughter, Shirley Dunn. Carol and Brent were in our prayers during her illness. We know that God will sustain Brent and the rest of Carol's family during this most difficult time. Carol has found her peace! ED AND LOIS ROBERTS, MARCH 15, 2008 Carol and Brent brought a special light to us when we met them in Utah. We became fast friends and had many wonderful times together. I remember Carol serving us coffee in a silver coffee server. I had never felt so special. I will never forget her words when I asked why the silver coffee server. She told me she bought it because she loved it, and loved it so she uses it. We recieved a beautiful silver coffee service set from them on Christmas. I love it and I use it. Carol, Brent,Shaun, and Virginia will always have a special place in our hearts. AL AND NANCY KNAPPNBERGER, MARCH 15, 2008 Sending our thoughts and prayers to all of Carol's Family.

Red SUSAN GILES, MARCH 14, 2008 Sorry for your loss KYLE S ANDERSON, MARCH 14, 2008 Carol always made us feel very welcome in her home. What a wonderful cook. Brent we know that you and Shawn will miss her deeply, but we also know you will always have a smile on your face when you speak of her. RANDY AND BRENDA KNOX, MARCH 14, 2008 The memory of Carol which comes to mind first is visiting her, Brent, and Aunt Virginia in Van Alstyne, and her giving her "girls" their treats...gummy worms! Her face was always full of expression and her smile was infectious, but it was

5 her kind, warm, gentle spirit that I will remember the most. Dan and I pray that God's peace will sustain her loved ones during this difficult time. Carol is at peace, and we thank God for her blessings in each of our lives. NANCY JO NEELON, MARCH 14, 2008 I joined the Underage Beauties chapter of the Red Hat Society in mid Carol, our Queen Red Beauty, made what could have been for me an awkward first meeting into a rich and rewarding experience. She was so enthusiastic and truly seemed to enjoy having fun. It was infectious. For having touched my life for such a short time, Carol has left a lasting imprint. We will all miss her. PAT HADDOCK, MARCH 14, 2008 my memories of carol go back 43 years. She was the kindest and most genuine loving soul I have had the pleasure to know. It has truly been an honor to hold the title "sister-in-law" to Carol. I cannot express how much she will be missed. Carol will always hold a place in my heart. Rest in peace my beautiful Carol. I love you your sister in law Cynthia.
