Praying for you all in your crushing sorrow on the loss of Carole. Grief is the price we pay for love.
Dear George and Family,
We are so saddened to hear of Carole’s passing. We enjoyed many travels with you both and so appreciated Carole’s sense of humor and quick wit. We will be out of town for the viewing and service, but know that our hearts are with you in spirit.
Sincerely,
Mark and Becky Hendon
George,
I am so sorry to hear of Carole’s passing. I have so many happy memories of all of dancing and laughing. I especially remember riding with both of you when we’d go to the Virginia Line Dance festival each year. But mainly I remember the love you both had for each other, which was evident every time I saw you.
George, I am praying for you and your family during this painful time.
All my love,
Janet
Celebrating the life of our wonderful Carole and mourning her passing with you!
Lots of love, Marie Pyle
Dear George and all of Carole’s family,
Carole was a bright light that continues to shine through her loving family and all of our memories. She was a brilliant bridge player and fabulous travel companion! Our memories keep her in our hearts.
Much love,
Deb and Barry
My deepest condolences, George, to you and your entire family. I loved your love together with Carole and the stories you used to tell me about your adventures with her. I always could tell your time together was a very special one. May comfort and peace be with you always.
I only heard of Carol’ s passing today. The news saddened me greatly. I met Carol through bridge. She was an excellent player, and I learned a great deal from her. I am very sorry for your loss.
