    I am so sorry for your loss. Carole was a wonderful person. I enjoyed working with her, bowling with her and watching her throw horseshoes. Heaven has received another angel.

  3. Gil, Todd and Family,
    I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Carole at DMS for many years, we sat by each other and spent many hours talking, (while working of course) about Todd and his adventures. She was always so kind to everyone, she came to work everyday with a smile on her face.
    Thinking of you all during this difficult time, may your loving memories of Carole guide you through the difficult days ahead.

  6. What a wonderful lady. I enjoyed visiting with her over the years. She will be missed.

  7. Gil, Carole is going to be greatly missed; she was a lovely, caring person. I’d already missed competing against her at tournaments the past few years since she’d quit pitching. She was fun to pitch with and enjoyable to be around.

  8. We have missed our Bright Ray of Sunshine for the last couple years on the Oak Grove Horseshoe Pits. She might not have felt like throwing but she was there to support her RRVMHSL when she could. She is now throwing ringers with her Golden horseshoes in Heaven. Mine and our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you Gi, Todd and Family from the Red River Valley Mixed Horseshoe League. Rest in Peace.

  9. O Loving Father and Savior, send your angels to carry the soul of your servant from this earth to the heavenly place of eternal and everlasting life. Let family and friends who have passed before in faith be reunited in joy with the departed. Forgive any wrongs that have been committed and welcome this beloved spirit into the warm embrace of your unending peace. Amen.
