They had visited almost every state in the U.S. and were always looking for someplace new.
Carol was a happy, loving, and caring person, always willing to help someone who was facing a difficult time. She often reached out to people who were suffering losses, and offered her time and self to try to help in any way possible. She will be sorely missed by all.
