I worked with Carol years ago at the Credit Bureau. She was so great to work with. I will always remember her great sense of humor and missed her when she decided to leave. I will always remember her. So sorry to hear of her passing. I’m so glad she was blessed with a long life with her family.
I remember all good times we had, at the Anderson family gatherings throughout the years!
