Janice and family.....I am Carol's cousin. I didn't know him well . I am a lot younger so he was grown when I was little therefore never got to know him. Dick called me today to let me know..I am very sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers. Love, Kathy Hee

We were most saddened to hear of Carol's death. We won't be able to come to Des Moines, but we are with you in spirit and love. We have hope for Carol in his new life in heaven, where there is no more suffering and sickness and where he will be reunited with his parents, Leland, and Charlene, as well as others who have gone before. Bless and comfort all of the family and friends, particularly his wife Janice and his children, and all whose who are missing him here on earth, including his caregivers in hospice. May we receive comfort in knowing that he is now free of pain and is with the Lord. Love, Mary Ann and Wayne
