Thoughts and Prayers to you Carl and your family. Carol will be missed by family, friends and co- workers, but we will always have our memories. Keep in touch. Carol and Art can keep company until the day we all meet.

I will always treasure her stories about family and Mr. Higgins, duraflame logs will never be just a way to start a fire. She will be deeply missed. Keep you all in prayer.

As we Celebrate Carol today, lets remember all the memories we each had with her.
She will always live in our hearts.
She left footprints on mine.



Carol was one of the first people I met in 1996 when I began working for PAR. Carol was never too busy to listen or help finding a solution to a problem.  To Carl and her family, I wish you hope in the midst of sorrow and comfort in the midst of pain. Carol will truly be missed.

May GOD open his arms and surround her with eternal peace .My sincere condolences to the family.                                                                                     Albert Ferlauto      Pasco co. Facility Safety Attendant

There's no words to describe the loss of this truly remarkable lady.  She dedicated her life to helping others and being an amazing example of what a good person was.  Carol took me under her wing in the last year and became not only an amazing boss, but also a wonderful and dear friend to me.  I am honored that I got to work so close side by side with you Carol.  You truly made me feel like I was one of the family.  You were so loved and will be missed beyond words.  You will forever be in my heart.  My deepest condolence goes out to Carl, Kyle, Scott, and Higgins.  Sending many prayers and lots of love.

My heartfelt condolences to Carol's family.   I will miss you Carol more than words can say.  You were always there for me.  God bless and keep you always my friend, and comfort your family through this difficult time.

Carol was my boss for over 11 years and I miss her so much. It is hard coming to work at the lab knowing that she will not be here. I know in my heart that she would want us to continue to work hard and continue her legacy.

Great boss, good neighbor, caring friend.

You will be greatly missed. Gone to soon but at peace you are. Thanks for caring.

You will be missed greatly, I only had a short time as you being my boss, but nothing you have done in my life will go unforgotten. You are on to another challenge in heaven, Gone to early but know you're at peace.

Carol was a gift to the world. I had the pleasure of working with Carol at PAR. She was an incredible leader and an amazing advocate for clients and her team. She is loved and missed. Her commitment and compassion were truly heroic. My deepest respect and condolences to family and friends. 

Dear Carl, Kyle and Scott,
We are shocked and heartbroken to hear of Carols passing. Words seem inadequate to express how we feel but we do know how respected and loved she was by so many. Please accept out deepest sympathy and love. Karla and Larry

To family and friends of Carol. My heart is broken for you. Carol has been a customer and friend for years. My heart felt condolences. Love and peace be with you. A honor to have called Carol my friend..

Worked with Carol , as a vendor for Par, for 15 years. Started in the JARF unit , went on to Detox and finally the Lab. I got to know Carol pretty well . Our meetings and conversations went far deeper than just the usual contract/work meetings. Carol was a great friend. Carol impacted so many lives in her work at Par. She will be missed.

Carol was one of Operation PAR's special people. She knew everyone and everything about the place. She had an innate ability to make everyone seem special. Her dedication to her work told of her love for PAR's mission. Her co-workers held the same kind of love for her, and I will miss her strength in crisis, friendship and sense of humor.  Carol, you were loved and will be missed dearly. 

Carol was a strong woman with compassion and goodness in her soul. She was a fine leader who will be missed. 

I am speechless. You were such a wonderful lady with a kind soul who gave a me chance at a career. You will never be forgotten.  Hugs and love and prayers to the family! She will be greatly missed by all.

Carl, My family sends you all our deepest sympathy. Carol was a generous soul who would do anything for anybody. Always selfless, caring, and loving. We will be forever grateful having known her. May you cherish the memories you hold dear in your heart.

Saddened over the sudden loss of a great friend who was taken too soon. Carol was a pillar of strength to all who knew her. She loved her family and Carl's Higgins. My deepest sympathy to each of you. Her giving ways, infectious smile and joyful laugh will be greatly missed.

Carl, Kyle, and Scott,
Carol was a great Mom, amazing wife, and a fabulous friend. I am truly blessed to have her be part of my life! She was a great role model with her strength, selflessness, and kindness. My families thoughts and prayers go out to you!
