My sympathy to Jack and family! Carol fought such a brave battle for many years. You will be missed at
LUMC. Rest in peace!
You were a great sister. I remember from being in Japan (I was 3 and you were 1)when Dad was stationed there and all the great times we as we progressed through life. I love you very much and will remember all the time we had together. I will miss you greatly.
Although I never had the privilege of knowing Carol Jean, I’m quite sure she was a beautiful woman inside and out. She seemed to be a very spiritual and giving person. May she rest in peace.
My deepest sympathy to Carol Jean’s husband, children and family. Her brothers Bruce, and my good friend Roy Charles Cornett Jr.
