I can’t believe this – Carol and the whole CHRISTLEY FAMILY ARE DEAR FRIENDS! I know my mama and sisters are probably having tons of fun with Carol and her parents, perhaps even daddy, he loves the Christley’s too, he was just more reserved and quiet! My love and condolences to you Gary, Gail, and Becky & hubby- LOVE ALL OF YOU! 💖🙏💖🙏💖
Carol and I went to high school together. She was always so friendly and caring. Our daughter, Angie, worked with her for years in the school district. Carol was so good to her. I’ve never known anyone to speak a negative word about her. She was the best of the best. She loved everyone and especially her family. May God bless all of those who love and will miss her genuine love. Her sweet Butch above all.
