   Grandma & Grandpa Olsen played a big role in my childhood. My sister & I always looked forward to visiting! They always treated us so kind, and showed us lots of love! I will never forget them! They were truly two very special people. This breaks my heart to know that they are no longer with us. For many days I have set and thought, how I would love to see them again!! May god be with you all!!

   Barb & family,
   Sorry to hear about the death of your Mother. When we were high school friends, the times I stopped to see you, your Mom always had a smile for me and made me feel welcomed at your home. Much later in life, my Mother enjoyed seeing & visiting with Carol. May your fondest memories of your Dear Mom always stay close to your heart.
   Love, Peggy (Bates) Snyder

    I enjoyed getting to know Carol, first as a fellow coworker and then as a resident. She was very wise and I enjoyed spending time with her. I am glad that she left peacefully and will never forget her smile and the love and respect, I held for her. I will miss her deeply.
