I am deeply saddened to hear of Carol's passing.  I haven't seen her since we were kids but I have fond memories of her from when our families went to church together.  My sister Lori and I came to her house a few times and she came to ours as well.  I remember she was so sweet and pretty and had a gentle personality.  I wish we hadn't lost touch over the years but that seems to be the way life is.  I am praying for her family and friends for comfort and peace and will look forward to seeing Carol along with my other friends and family who are already rejoicing in Heaven.  Rest in the arms of Jesus Carol.  🙏❤️

Long lost best friend

Carol and I met in CMW. I was the new girl and she was asked to help me get around the school so I wouldn't get lost. She admitted later to me that she really didn't want to help.  It didn't take long for us to become friends. Pretty soon, we became very close. We had so much fun together.  We attended a lot of the field parties that all the kids at school went to together, late night prank phone calls, double dates with boy best friends, walking thru the mall as she thru red hots at people and blamed me, all the late night McDonald's parking lot adventures, sneaking out of my bedroom window playing truth or dare and both falling in love with the same boy.......then she married him.   My love and admiration for her never escaped me although we lost touch as she grew into being a wife and mother.    I looked upon her over the years from a distance and always wished nothing but the best for my long lost best friend. 

Carol you will forever be etched in my heart.

           Your friend Cheri ( Venker) Bellamy
