Sending you all hugs and prayers from North Carolina.
Carol always was a great resource to me, first as a student nurse and then as a new nurse starting my career. Then as I started having children of my own, Carol was always there if I had questions. I miss seeing her smiling face at work and the Friday night treats she always brought in for everyone. Miss you Carol! I know you are at peace!
If I could I would say to Carol–your fondest dream was that you could live your life as a Christian woman, be a devoted and loving wife, and a loving and motherly mother who was a role model for her children and grandchildren–your dream came true, Carol–and then some. Your faith shown through. You were a devoted and loving wife to Roger but went even further and were a devoted and loving person to all your family and friends. And what a Mom you were! You were a Mom to us all-motherly and a role model in every walk of your life. You reached for your dream and soared past it! I miss you so..but I celebrate your life so well lived-godspeed my dear friend. Love, Joyce
It is a great privilege to know Carol, and the entire family. I pray that God’s comforting hand will give you peace in this difficult time.
I remember Carol as being the ultimate mom. She was always calm and caring, even in a houseful of kids. Kind and loving, I was inspired by her hard-work both at home and on the job, working weekends for so long. God’s peace to the Andrews family as they mourn her passing.
A wonderful wife, mother, friend, nurse, and devoted disciple joined the angels in heaven and is gathered into the arms of Christ with her dancing shoes on. We know Carol is telling us to look up, to draw close to the Lord, to allow Him to comfort us in our sorrow. Her life rippled across many hearts with love, kindness, wisdom; there was always room for one more in her arms, one more at her table, one more to help. Tireless in reaching out to others, she was an extension of Jesus’ hands. We can say of her– When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced You lived your life so that in death The world cries and you rejoice; safe in the arms of Jesus! We can hear Carol singing, ‘Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of you be still Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all…..’ Andrews family, you are in our prayers–as confident as we are Carol is with the Lord, we miss her physical presence beyond words. She will always be in our hearts. In His grip, Linda and Bill Strickland 11
