Will and family: So sorry to her of Carol’s passing. I remember our first Canadian fishing trip when we were young ones and she kinda out fished us. May the Lord be with you and your family.

I remember Carol from her working for several years at Peacock Water. She was kind, helpful and upbeat and we always ended up talking about my years at ONU where I was a professor and mentor to her talented son Matt, a member of the ONU Jazz Band. Her family has my deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻
