We are so sorry for your loss. Know that all of you are in our prayers; along with Carol as she is relieved of her earthly suffering. She was a beautiful woman her on earth and now she can share her beauty with the Lord in heaven.

I am so glad that I was able to visit last fall and spend some time with you both. Hopefully, we can visit again soon.

Please let us know if there is anything at all we can do for you.

With love and deepest sympathy,

I'm at a loss of words at this time and for me that is unusual. I'm so very Sorry for your families Loss. Carole was so wonderfully pleasant and enjoyable till the end. If you did not know her, you would have never known she was sick. She always smiled and was quick to see how you were doing and what was going on in your life nevermind what was going on in hers. It was a Great pleasure knowing such a Strong Amazing Woman. Your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Martin. Her smile could make you forget that you were having a bad day. Remember, you haven't lost her, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Mrs. Martin is free from everything that's been weighing her down, and now, she's right where she needs to be in the presence of the Lord. Kathryn, my love and sympathy goes out to you and your family.
