Carol will be missed very dearly by her Stepdaughter Darlene. She would often spend time with Darlene chatting on the phone and making her laugh and smile. Darlene looked forward to her phone calls and her special Cheesecakes that Carol would make and drop off for holidays and birthdays. It was an honour to be a witness to this wonderful relationship.

My condolences to the entire family. It wasn’t so long ago I ran into Carol and had a nice chat. She was always up for some real talk and I loved that about her, and her meatloaf. Very first meatloaf I ever tasted was hers and I’ll never forget it. So sorry to all the kids she loved especially her very own, Mindy, Albert and Kelly. She was one of the good ones! Actually one of the very best! Heartfelt condolences to you all.
