We are so sorry for your loss. Carol will be missed by many. Carol was a great sister-in-law. I will miss our phone calls, when we would talk about Steve and stories from the past. Carol always made me laugh and tried to find the positive side of everything. She always told me I was in her prayers, and now she is in mine.

Aunt Carol, you have the brightest of aura and infectious smile which truly mirrored Uncle Steve’s, truly made everyone around you happy. It always felt good in the heart each time I see you.

I am heartbroken. I miss you, and love you Aunt Carol. Thank you for your kindness. My deepest sympathy! We will always Love You xo

Aunt Carol used to say “We have the best family”. I can still picture her holding my hand and hear her saying those words. We do have the best family, but we were lucky enough to have had an even better Aunt. I’m beyond thankful for all of the special memories we shared, and I will forever cherish those, her kind spirit and beautiful smile in my heart. Thank you for being the best sister to Mom-Mom and a great friend to Poppie. Give a kiss to Mama from us and continue to watch over us. Miss you and love you always, Aunt Carol xoxo ♥️

I cannot begin to say how much I loved and will miss my cousin Carol. She was the sweetest person you could ever meet and I was lucky enough to grow up with Carol and her sisters Jacqueline and Maureen and brother Dickie. The love and loyalty they had for each other and their mother, Bunny Whitman was something special and could be felt by everyone who knew them. I'll miss our phone calls.
