A Call to Carol
Carol-it's been 2 days since i heard the news and I still can't believe it. I have wanted to pick up my phone and call you at least 30 times. No matter what, you were always just a phone call away. I just want to hear you say "hey girl what are you doin?" You were the person I would call in good times and bad, and there were plenty of both. I would either get the words of encouragment or a good kick in the butt (depending on what I needed). We shared so many things together, birthdays, holidays, school events and even a car accident and a fire. Come to think about it maybe being around us could have been dangerous for those around us.
I was blessed to have you in mine and my children's lives for 20 years. We were even more blessed to have had you a De Adrian's godmother. Kim had asked you because you had always been there for her and she knew you would be there for her son. For many years, you were a backdoor neigbor but always a friend and confident. You were always there for all of us anytime day or night. Your home was always open to just about everyone. Anyone who spent anytime with your at all could see that you loved to surround yourself with your family and friends. Stranger was a word that I don't believe was even in your vocabulary. Within 5 minutes of meeting someone new they would be your new friend.
You always had "words of wisdom" to offer. They may not have been original; but, they were words that you lived by. Pick your battles was one of your favorites. Constantly you would remind me not to sweat the small stuff but to save my enegy and time for the important things in life. Words, that I admit . that I have never been very good heeding. You would also remind me almost every time we talked to live each day to the fullest because you never know when it may be your last and God will call you home. Again, admittedly, I have never been good at that; but I am going to do better. No matter where you were or what you were doing, you went after it with enthusiasm and an energy that could be likened to a miniature tornado. If it was somthing that you wanted, you found a way to make it happen.
I know that Kimmie was worried about Cassie being pregnant and needing her mama with her. Carol, I'm not going to worry-Cassie is her mother's daughter after all and you have instilled in her and all your children the strength to face anything and achieve all their goals. Between you and me, we both know that you will be there for the birth of your new grandson and to celebrate with all of your family. Your family is actually your legacy. The values and beliefs that you and Ric have taught your children will carry on for many generations. You have raised a family to be very proud of.
I know that we have had talks about we are always surrounded by our loved ones that have passed and that they are our personal angels. What many of us did not realize, your were acutally an angel on earth. Now you are truly an angel who will always be with us. I know it may be selfish, but, none of us were ready to let you go.
Cariol- I know I did not say it enough; but thank you. Thank you for everything that you have said and done. Thank you for for being you. I don't think you had idea of how many people that you have helped or how many lives that you have changed. I also want to thank Ric and your family for sharing you with all of us Their generosity helped enrich so many lives in so many ways.
Kimmie, De and I are going to go to the beach this weekend. We are going to find a quiet spot, listen to the waves and remember all the good times we had.together. We will share some laughs and alot of tears. We will grieve for your family, but I know that you would not want us to grieve for you. Carol, you were strong in your belief of heaven and a better life with the Lord. I hope that Ric and your family can find comfort in knowing you were always ready.to be called home.
Well I am going to have to get off of here and like I usually ended the call, you take care and I will talk with you later..
Love you always and always in our thoughts,
Chris, Kevin, Brian, Kim and De Adrian

I new Carol most of my life. I remember us playing together even before we started school. Carol was always willing to help others. My first year at Nowata High School, she not only drove me to school but included me in lunch with her friends. She did not have to do that. It was good reconnecting with her last year on Facebook. She will be greatly missed. Even though we have not seen each other for several years, just knowing she is no longer there, leaves an empty hole.

I am so sorry for your loss as I know it must be extremely difficult to comprehend this tragic and sudden loss. I consider myself fortunate to have gotten to know Carol during our time working together at TKI. I can convey many of the same comments made by others as to her kindness, upbeat personality and positive effect on those around her. I am confident these are just some of the many things that will be forever charished by her family and friends.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you all, and that you will be comforted in knowing that through her faith in God that she is now getting to experience the wonderful glory of heaven for the rest of eternity. I'm sure that Carol's prayer would be that we all make the necessary plans to ensure that we will also one day be there to see her again and enjoy heaven's glory with her.

So sorry to hear of Carol passing. I remember her as a very young girl in grade school. She sang at our daughters wedding and parents funeral. She indeed had a lovely voice and was such a sweet young lady. May it comfort you to know that the thoughts and prayers of others are with all of you. You Have Our Deepest Sympathy

words when she would talk to you.. She was Loved
by many and will be missed by many more..

I am so very sorry for your loss.
I met Carol, thru a mutual friend,
many years ago...... that friend,
has since gone on to be with the
lord, but Carol had such a wonderful
spirit and an infectious smile.
I had the privilege of having Carol
sing at my wedding.... she had the
voice of angels. I had not seen Carol
in several years... but I know she was
loved by many, and she will be in our
hearts forever.
R.I.P. Carol.

I first met Carol 2 years ago in Phoenix where a group of us TKI girls were gathered for a week of meetings. Her smile was infectious. She was a delight to be around, very open, welcoming and friendly. I know you will miss her terribly as will all of us who worked with her whether daily or occasionally. My prayer for you, her family, is that God may grant you strength and peace in the coming days. Focus on the good memories - they will bring you comfort....

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am blessed to have counted Carol as a friend, as well as constituent with TKI. We had been talking about getting together for a ride sometime this summer. Carol always had such a happy, upbeat frame of mind. I share with you the shock, pain and sadness of losing this bright ray of sunshine.

Words can't express all of the thoughts that have been going through my mind. Carol was contagiously happy and positive. What a blessing it was to know her and call her 'friend!' She was totally devoted to you, Ric, as well as her big family. All of you were the light of her life. We were going to share a Branson trip in a couple weeks which I've now postponed. It wouldn't have been the same without her. A friend for life; I know I'll see her again. God bless all who knew her!

The times that i've run into her over the years she always greated me with a big smile and hugs. She is one lady that will be missed but I know she is smiling down on us right now saying I will see you all soon! My prayers are with you all in this difficult time!

Carol, it's so hard to believe you are not here on this Earth with us! I am so grateful for your friendship and memories made together! Like so many others who with me, shared your love and friendship, we had some crazy fun times! You were always there in the darker seasons of my life too, like the supportive person you always were to so many. I'm so glad we got to talk recently, even for just a brief time. I miss you but I know I'll see you again. Love you always!

Oh what a reality that life is only a vapor! I am so glad that I was able to visit with Carol at our last class reunion. She was absolutely one of the sweetest young ladies this side of heaven. Although we didn't stay in regular contact with each other, during our school days, we were always together in one way or another, be it class, music, or just hanging out at lunchtime. Family, you have our condolences & our prayers during this most difficult hour. Carol, you will NEVER, EVER be forgotten!!!
