What a loss to our family. I remember having a conversation with my beautiful aunt a few years ago, thanking her for helping me become the woman I am today. And that gratitude will always remain. The many things done to help raise me. For always being there for me growing up, weather picking me up or school drop off. Early morning Hardee’s breakfast before school. Or making sure I had clean clothes and a clean bed to sleep in at night and making sure we had all of our needs met. Or picking me up from the police as a teen because who else could I call other than the aunt that helped raised me and no matter what always picked up the phone and showed up. Without judgement without resentment. Just love and tolerance. Carols legacy will live on, through all of us. I will remember grace, and tolerance and to remember how short this life is and sometimes it is just a matter of a ride down the road enjoying the view or a porch swing surrounded by ones you love is where happiness is. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Rest in Paradise Carol
