Carol changed my feelings about church. I hadn't been to church since I was a child. Bill and Carol invited me to go to Wesley Methodist where they had gone for years.One Sunday me and my grandson Dustin went up to church.We would have Sunday school with just Carol and I and Dustin and the pastor or teacher. Carol started bringing her one grandson to join us. I am still a member 11 years later. Thank You Carol you will be missed. Your cousin Janie ,as you called me.
