I feel very lucky to have had Carol as my best friend for the last 20 yrs. We shared many adventures. When we got together it would be," do you remember when", and we would start laughing and one of us would say were we stupid or lucky.
I spent many memorable times with her family,(which I consider my extended family) and friends. I would like to Thank all of you for putting up with me.
So Good Bye Missy Lars
Love Bill & Zoren

What a gracious and wonderful friend Carol has been, to me, for many years. When I was broken-hearted and wallowing in self-pity.....she lifted me up with her tiny arms and huge heart. Carol loved everyone unconditionally, no questions asked...everyone who has ever spent time with Carol is a better person for it. I will miss you dear friend, the world will never see the likes of you again...Love, Meda
