David, 

Sorry to hear of the loss your mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Clay and family,
What a beautiful picture of a beautiful lady, inside and out.  We don't have adequate words to express our sorrow over Carol's passing. Please know that we love your family dearly and will always cherish the good times we had together.  You grandchildren, Bryce, Connor, and Logan, had a grandmother who bragged about you every time we saw her. We feel like we know you because we have heard so much about you from Carol. Rest in peace dear, dear friend until we meet again.

Carol Bailey was such a classy woman. I treasure the times that we spent together and I am better for having known her.  With love to the family.  Suzanne Hine

Good bye my dear friend. Carol was my best friend since 1971, my sister-friend.  I was able to visit with her in June and am so glad I did.  We never had to "catch up," always took up right where we left off, even with me in Florida and her in Tennessee. She was the best person I ever knew and I will forever miss her.  She will always be in my heart.

I am so very sad to hear of Carol's passing.  She was such a smart, wise, kind woman, someone I always wished I had been able to spend more time with. She enriched the lives of everyone around her. I was one of her teachers at Tusculum College and thought she was the best student I ever had the honor to know. So smart, so intelligent in so many ways. I also knew her through our executive women's group: KAWE.  I am sorry I could not come to your receiving of friends this evening because of my own health problems. She was a very special lady and we will miss her.

I am very saddened to hear about Carol passing away. My thoughts and prayers to Carol's family.

I have known Carol for about 62 years.  She was our babysitter when we first moved to Norman Park, GA, and we have stayed friends all these years.  I will miss her, but I know she is in a far better place, with people who loved her.  Goodbye old friend.  May God comfort her family.

I will miss Carol very much. She was an extraordinary woman who always took the time to smile and say hello and praised her grandkids on every visit to take her lessons.  I could tell how much she loved her family and she never ever complained about a thing. What an inspirational person she was and will be truly missed. My wholehearted condolences to the family. I know that you will miss her terribly.

With deepest sympathy, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

David,
My thoughts are with you at this time of loss. 
Though I never met your mother, I cannot help but feel that you are, in some manner, a reflection of her. Therefore, she must have had a great and positive impact on those around her. 
Clearly, she will be missed.

I have had the pleasure of working with Carol for almost 30 years at TEC.   First as a co-worker and later as a board member.   It has been my experience that Carol always worked for the benefit of those around her.  Her commitment to bettering those near her was an inspiration.   Her loss is felt profoundly at TEC and her guidance will be missed.  It pains me to think how much more deeply her loss is being felt by her immediate family.   Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear David,

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. While I know it is never easy to loose a loved one, yet I pray to God to rest her soul in peace and grant you and your family peace and power to overcome your pain and sorrow.

My heart felt condolences to you and your family.

Dear Clay and family,

I love Carol and I love this picture of her.  A better friend one could not find. I'll always love the good times we spent together and until we meet again will cherish the memories. I'll miss her letters, visits, calls, etc., but will always know that she loved me back.  Clay, David, Donna and boys, just know that we care deeply and will pray for you daily,

Love, Horace and Mary Lynn Chitty
Moultrie, Georgia.

Deep sympathy to all the family and her friends from a fellow board member at T.E.C - The last time I saw Carol- she said "no matter what happens she will be OK" - she impressed me with her strong faith.
Bob Smith

to all of the family, my deepest sympathy
had great fun with Carol planning your
vacation trip out West.

Carol brought communion to my sister and me as part of her Eucharistic lay ministry.  She made it very meaningful and had a special touch. She will be missed! Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family!

Clay, Donna, and David, I just wanted to let you know that you will be in our prayers during this difficult time. Carol was a pleasure to work for, always cheerful to deal with, and she will definitely be missed.

My sincere condolences go out to the family during this time of grief. I always enjoyed my interactions with Carol and she always greeted me with a smile. She will truly be missed.

Dear Family, I knnow Carol loved life, family and friends. She inspired me to advance to the UT General Counsel and Board of Trustees Office many years ago. My life was enriched for having worked with and known her. Blessings of Love to each of you, L. Rebecca (Becky) Wynn, Member-Fountain City United Methodist Church, Knoxville, TN
