Carol was a joy to be around and gave her best to whatever she committed to, something clearly reflected in her academic success. I know she will be deeply missed by all who loved her.
I’m especially grateful for the chance to reconnect with her on social media a year or so ago. That brief exchange meant a lot, and I’m thankful to have had that moment. -

I'm so sorry to hear about Carol's passing. We were in school together from 5K until graduation. She had a graet sense of humor. In Spanish class, she use to say, "Grassy Ass" just to be funny. She will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear that Carol's free spirit has been silenced on this world, but her spirit will continue through her friends and family.
Bon voyage, Carol! -
Just a few thoughts, or else I will ramble as my tears build up. Carol to me exhibited strength, individuality and love. I know she in heaven and she is at peace. So much I will miss about my good friends spirit here on earth. What I will miss the most is how she was always willing to share her time and talk with me always truthful but totally without a judging eye. God has a new ANGEL.
