Michael, so sorry to read of your mother's passing. I remember you speaking of her and her influence in your life. Linda and I think of you often. We pray for you and your families comfort at this time
Carol was a proud, fellow “Husky” whom I‘ll always remember as being very dedicated and hard working. She was a delight to be part of our Hillcrest family. I would like to offer her family my deepest and most sincere condolences and may Carol’s soul Rest In Peace.
Dear Julie, Mike and Family,
I am so sorry to read about your sweet Mom passing. She was one in a million... I have so many beautiful memories, especially her great sense of humor, contagious laughter, and the kindness she often shared. She always had something nice to say about everyone and loved her family dearly! My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Wishing you much strength and peace.
Love, Joyce Jensen
To My Dearest Friend Carol,
💞Be free as a bird, minus any pain, at total peace, and please hug Carl for me... 😓💞
Love and miss you!
So very sorry to hear of Carol's passing. She was beloved at Hillcrest. Always even-keeled, generous and accommodating to a fault, Carol was such an asset to the department she headed and to the school overall. She was humble and full of common sense. She delighted in funny moments, comments, which explains her appreciation of Don Neff. I've missed Carol since I retired many years ago; now I shall miss her even more, knowing that she has left us.
I was deeply saddened to read Carol's obituary in yesterday's paper. I also worked at Hillcrest High School as an English teacher for many years, so I had a chance to become acquainted with Carol. She was always sweet, kind, compassionate, positive and friendly. Though I haven't seen her for years, I will always remember her as a bright spot from my years at Hillcrest. I will cherish warm memories of her and her beautiful smile. I am so sorry for your loss.
