Working with Carol at Towel Supply for nearly 20 years was a blessing. She was always kind and thoughtful to anyone lucky enough to meet her. I've often thought about her over the years and hoped she was doing well. God rest her beautiful soul! Darla Davis

Auntie Caroline I always remember the kindness even when I was a child. You always call me Katie Gal because I was always wit mommy Katie. It hard to believe you not on earth anymore but with the love ones that went before you. We were always close to you and your kids when they came to York or we came to the family reunions. You have to be the kindest of the McCoy siblings and Nett is the spoiled child you had. We will always love you and remember your smile Linda

Where do I start?

Mommy, you touched so many peoples lives and hearts and accepted me as your daughter-in-law and I'll ALWAYS cherish this and be humbling grateful.
To the family, turn to GOD for strength, guidance and understanding. GOD will see you all through your trying times. The days that may be challenging for you, look at the AMAZING memories you have with Mommy and all the family. The memories will bring you love and laughter. Mommy showed everyone that GOD is first and Family is everything. Continue to follow Mommy's footsteps and make sure you stay close as family, you all are going to need each other.
