Wish I could’ve been with her more in her final moments. She was one of the sweetest women ever and treated both me and my brothers like we were her own. I always thought of her as the mother I never had and will be forever grateful I got to have her in my life.
My deepest sympathies to every one. Aunt Carol’s smile and laugh is something I will always remember. Funny, great cook, beautiful, caring sweet heart. Although I am deeply saddened, it brings peace to my heart knowing that her children were there for her, making sure she felt love and comfort before being called to Heaven.
