"Carol was more like a sister than a cousin to me we've always been very close. For every mile stone in my life she was there beside me she help plan my wedding, help me pick out my wedding dress when I had my first baby she was there every day to help me until the navwl cord came off then she told me you're on your now kiddo I'd rather she poured water on me than leave me with a newborn baby but if I had a problem all I had to do was call her and she would be there. All through my life Carol has been there for me that's the way we were. Carol's legacy is " Love " she gave love , she showed, if you anything about her you know she loved her family, friends, she would help in any way she could even when her health was bad she still did what she could to help. That was love. She generated love. Carol is Love. And I'll always love you ilk carry my memories of you in my heart forever the day you left me you left you took partof my heart with you. Rest in in Heaven with the Angels. Ilk see you later cousin/sis.??"
