John and Family,
I want to extend my sincere sympathy on your loss. Carol was so good to me at the Bank and I was just in today asking about her. I am sorry I missed this in the paper but with the holiday
I missed reading some of the paper. She was so courageous as she worked through all her treatments. Bill Mc Coy

John Wanted to write you a note and let you know how very sorry I was to hear about Carol. 7 year strugle with cancel is along time and althought it is hard to understand, she is probably in Heaven with the Lord.
I just wanted you to know I have been thinking and praying for you, I would have been at the funeral, but I just had openheart surgery. Had one on the main valves replaced and a bypass done to fix my problem. Had breast cancer at age 38 and then I had radiation. The radiation is the product that caused all my problems. Going to let you go because I am still not feeling up to par. Once again I would like to say how sorry I am and I think of you often
Take care

John and family,
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I did not know Carol real well, but what I did know of her was wonderful.The times I was around her, she made me feel welcome and treated me like she had known me all her life. I know you all have lost a big part of your world and I am truly sorry for that. It has been a long road for your family, and especially Carol. I believe with now she can be at peace. Hopefully that will bring you some comfort. I feel lucky to have known her. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
