Carol, and John, were gracious and kind. We will forever be grateful for their kindness and tolerance toward our sister when she was a resident of Calderwoods in Beaumont, TX. Now may they rejoice in God's care.

A very happy woman with a beautiful smile! We so enjoyed getting to know Carol and her husband John through her sister Marilyn. I always loved talking to her when I had the chance. I know she is looking down at everyone with a smile on her face. Carol was a very blessed woman and raised wonderful children. She left an impression forever on all of us. Patty and John Dasko
