Nicki, Stacy & I took Carol, Linda and my mom (Shalon) on a cruise one time. We had some funny adventures and best times on that trip. Carol was a lot of fun and she had a heart of gold. I will treasure the memories we made.
Contagious Laughter, Champagne Lover, and Life of the Party… Aunt Carol, I still can’t figure out how you were able to make rubbing your feet and back so enticing that all the cousins fought over doing it ☺️
We love you and you will be greatly missed❤️
