| Darrel and family....I am so very sorry to hear that Carol passed away. I met her when we both worked at the Mall and she became a second "Mom" to so many of us there. I have such good memories of the times we store managers spent over a cup of coffee at the Carosel each morning. The world was a better place because of her. |

| Our hearts are so heavy for all of you, although relieved for Carol that she is finally free from illness. Carol was the mom to everyone. She was always so upbeat and attentive, no matter what was weighing on her. She will be so greatly missed, leaving an impactful footprint forever on all of us having the fortune to know her. Darrel, how lucky you both were to have had each other all these years to make such a wonderful family and memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. |
