Miss KAROL was such a wonderful and caring person. She was our son Adams bus driver (bus #3) and she made him smile every day. Our prayers are with you all during this difficult time. But we are excited to see her again heaven.

Our daugher had “Miss Karol” as her Bus (#3) Driver while at Bucher Elementary. Our mornings were always brighter when Miss Karol opened that bus door and greeted my daughter with her beautiful smile & a cheery “Good Morning”. We often see Bus #3 pass by us as we make our way to school in the morning and we always pause to remember “Miss Karol”. She was a blessing. Our thoughts & prayers are with the family at this sad time. – The Shirk Family

I’m sorry for the loss to the Family, I loved Karol like a Sister she was my SIL. I will miss Karol deeply, but knowing that she is no longer in pain is a Blessing. I didn’t know her children, but I knew Karol and Lee my Bro very well. I know God needed another Angel, and now God has one of the best. I’m also sure my Mom was waiting for her. God Bless the Family. Prayers to the Family’ Joanna M Benya
