So sorry to hear about CarolAnn.  I worked with CarolAnn at PAI for a period of time when I got to know her, she cared deeply about the individuals she worked with and took care of also about her fellow workers.  CarolAnn had a heart of gold and would do anything to help the people she knew and the ones she did not know.  CarolAnn was one of a kind and surely will be missed, may God be with her.

CarolAnn was a woman truly touched by God.  She put 100% of herself into caring for others.People such as her are so rare.  Her unique personality will be missed on earth. I know she will be at peace in heaven taking care of Charlie.

We are saddened to learn the news of CarolAnn’s passing. She was a customer of my State Farm agency and will be missed by all of us.  This news takes us by surprise as we saw her around Thanksgiving when she stopped in to pay her auto insurance and she looked fine.  We had a nice conversation and we joked about her love for teddy bears.  She was recalling we gave her one of our plush "Good NeighBears" a few years ago.  Carol was such a unique character! We will miss her biannual visits.

We would appreciate it if a family member would contact my office when you are ready to take care of her affairs.  Thank you.

Sincerely,
Chris Milsom
