I’m sorry I haven’t made up for the family reunion in several years to see everyone. I haven’t seen Carol in so long but remember working on the family tree with her and the prizes and invites for the family reunion. I’m in awe of how long she and Joe were married–since 1959 WOW! I will miss you aunt Carol! My condolences to Tim, Steve, and Teresa and the rest of the family. Dad (Gary) said y’all will be having her cremated and mixing the ashes with Joe then putting them on the property since that’s where they have always been. That is so sweet, especially if there is a rose bush or something so y’all can see them in the flowers/blooms. 🙂
God Bless all the family. I wish I could make it up for the showing, but not yet sure it will possible.
My condolences and Love to all!
