I’m so sorry for your loss. Carol was a wonderful friend. Our Friday night dinner group enjoyed having her with us to add wonderful comments to our conversations. She will be sorely missed!
Deb, so sorry to hear about your Mom. I always enjoyed working with her through AMGA. I enjoyed her garden walk and loved her white – moon garden. I will miss her.
So sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful lady and had a very kind heart.
I want to send my prayers for comfort and strength, to my coworker and friend Chris Brown and your family.
Dear Family of Carol: Carol was a dear friend from Denby High School in Detroit. We both moved to N. MI in the early 90’s. We had many phone conversations and email and card exchanges. I will try to drive up for the Funeral on Monday. Love Mary Ann Stimpson

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I just returned this afternoon, from a week in California, and was so sad to hear of Carol’s passing. We had spoken on the phone at length, on Memorial Day. She was as bright and happy as I will always remember her – full of love for her family and wishing the best for all. My prayers and thankfulness of being part of the Granthen family and having the best sister-in-law in the whole world! Love to all, Harriett E. Granthen
