Mike,
I am praying for you in the loss of Carol. Know that many people that you do not even know are praying for you. Also, know that you have the support of your HHS classmates. My mother and sister are praying for you, as well.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Mike and the surviving family members. Carol was such a dear, kind person and an excellent writer. I will continue to endeavor in my efforts to see her beloved “Hawk Trublood and the Mystery of Trublood Bay” become a published novel this year, her legacy. Carol was a treasure and a precious friend. It was blessed to know her and the work with her. I am honored she chose me to finish her final gift to mankind. May she rest in peace in the arms of our loving Savior.
Sorry to learn of your wife’s passing. My prayers for you and your family.
My thoughts are with you Mike, and the rest of the family.
A wish for comfort and healing.
It’s been a long time since we had fun together. I loved you Carol and when we were young we had some great times. I’ll miss you. Love you Lee Ross
Time and distance haven’t diminished fond memories of my sweet cousin. Thoughts and prayers to all her family.
All of the Williams cousins were so very close as young kids, and we shared so many wonderful memories. Time and circumstances kept us apart as we grew older, but memory never fades. Rest in peace Dear Cousin. My deepest sympathies to your family and loved ones.
Hello Mike,
I’m Carol’s cousin. My heartfelt condolences to you. You’re in my prayers. Sincerely, Tammi Williams
Tears are flowing. I did not know she had declined near to that point. She was a dear and friend of 50 years although our lives took different roads for much of it. Mike I am so sorry for your loss. You were so loving and caring to her and she loved you much as you did her. If I had known I would have come to the funeral. Can I reach you on her cell phone or will you send me yours. O Lord have mercy on us who mourn. Our loved one is finally at peace.
Mike, this is late, and I apologize; again, I am very sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, I did not know your wonderful wife that well. However, I am very happy for you and her for the years of happiness that you shared. Someday, you will see her anew. Gods Blessings to you and yours, and keep her memory alive!
