May you rest in peace Carol Jean. God bless you and Jim for being such wonderful neighbors to my grandparents, Charlie & Irene, and then to my Dad, Darrell. Thanks for all you did for them:) My condolences to Jim and the rest of your family.

Auntie Carol is probably telling St. Peter a good joke! We'll miss those.

We met Carol Jean & Jim in 1971. Carol & Cheryl quickly became good friends spending a lot of time together. Over the years we had a lot of great memories including snowmobiling and country dancing (Jim & Carol Jean looked great in their western attire). One of the best memories was the 25th anniversary that we spent in Vegas together and the rose story. We are all sad to see you go but we know your going to a better place.

My sincere sympathy to Carol's family. Carol was a classmate of my husband , Alfred. Their class just got a little smaller.
