Duane I want to send my sincere sympathy to you and your family. Thank you for the phone call. We had some good memories of Reece and Sybil School
My condolences to Carol’s family. My great-grandmother was a Vinson and Meryl and Carol were regulars at the Newsham family reunions in Ashland.
So sorry for your lose. Carol was such a lovely lady. She will be missed dearly. May God give you strength and peace of heart during this time. Another angel is in Heaven now.
We were very sad to learn of Carol’s passing. Although we never met them my sister and I felt a connection with Carol and Merl through correspondence over many years between them, cousin Barbara and our late mother Catherine Campbell Barbour.
Our sincere condolences to Duane and Tonya and all family in Nebraska from us here in Scotland.
Innes Barbour Carmichael and Fiona Barbour MacKenzie and families.
