Sweet Carol was our next door neighbor and dear friend. We will miss her sweet smile and kind heart. Jerry, she was a doll. We rejoice with you that she’s now with our Lord and Savior and we pray for you as you carry on here without her.
I was 5 years younger than my sister Carol but we had a great time
growing up on the farm in Sallisaw.Riding the school bus together, going
to the roller skating rink. Mother made us awesome skating out fits and I must say we were very good at skating. We always had a garden on the farm, Carol
could fry the best okra and make great ice tea. I really missed her afte she
left after graduation from Central to work at the Oklahoma City Capital
Building. Daddy raised strawberries and on occasions we would take
Strawberries to sell to OK City, Carol would let her co workers know we were
coming and the truck load would be sold.
Had a lot of laughs together. ❤️❤️❤️❤️????
