I went to school with her daughter Lynn and recall meeting her mom on a visit back to Boulder. 

My prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Carol. 
Her memory and spirit will always be with us. 

Carol always worked very hard for her family. I always enjoyed our conversations, and it was great to have the oppertunity to chat, it had been way too long. Rest Easy.

Carol, I always admired your strength and determination, and for your dedication as a parent, and above all for your love and support of Mason.   You were a pleasure to be around and I will miss your presence here, the world was a better place with you in it.  Blessings and God's strength to your loved ones.

Carol,
I always will remember your smile, your kind words and hearty laughter.  It was wonderful to have the opportunity to work with you.  You will be greatly missed!

Dear Mason i am so for your loss of your family my condolences to you and your family. see you around at expand activities!

Dear Mason,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. Your grandmother's dedication to you from the time you were so young reflects the wonderful young man you've grown up to be. I feel blessed to have known her and shared so many laughs and good times with both of you on our special Saturday mornings for many years.
Fondly,
Linda Raulino

Dear Mason,

Sorry to hear about your Grandmother.  God bless you and your family. From your friend, Brittany Kruse

Dear Mason,

My family and I had the honor of watching you over all these years grow into the wonderful young man your Grandmother guided you to be. She lived a very long life and the two of you were very fortunate to have made so many memories that you will now carry with you no matter where in life you travel.
I will miss seeing her around Boulder and the occasional chats we had but will always remember her with great fondness and respect.

Carol, you always joked with us that since your birthday was on Halloween you were a witch, and when you passed it was your turn to have some fun, and come back to haunt us. I for one am looking forward to see what you have in store for us! Thanks for everything.

Rest assured, you won't have any more doting over you to fatten up! I think of you every time I have Almond Butter-your fav! I will miss your contagious laughter and your kindnesses. I will miss seeing you warm your hands on a cup of hot coffee.  I promise to stay in touch with dear Mason. Thank you for bringing him into our family and letting us be a part his growing up to be a fine young man. You done good! Kris G

Dear dear Carol, how you will be missed around here.  Thank you for taking such great care of us, but most importantly allowing us to share in you!  I will miss your laughter.  We all have a very special angel looking over us!  God bless you.

Carol, what a special person you were and I was blessed to get to know you. I marveled at how you guided Mason in his life. Peace.

Bless you and your family. You were a strong giving woman and a gift to all who knew you.

Carol, you were such a kind and gentle soul. I will miss your smiling face and funny remarks. Rest in peace.

Miss Carol - I will miss you dearly, but you can rest now and let those Angels in Heaven sew patches on your clothing, clean up after your messes and wait on you, without a negative word, as you have always done for us. I don't believe it was said enough but you were loved and respected for all you did for us and the very kind person you were!

Carol I will miss you so much at work.  You always brightened my every day with your smile.  You were so good to all of us.  I'll miss the jokes we shared and picking on "the boys" together.  I'll try to keep them in line for you.  Miss you my friend, rest well.

Oh Carol, you kept us clean and in stitches and very well stocked. Almost every patch, name tag and service bar bears your touch and reminds us of the way you cared for us.  You shared Mason with us from time to time. Miss you.

Carol your family was so blessed to have you. You gave them everything and more, What a gift you were to them and to all of your friends, You were more important to everyone, than I think you knew. I will miss you, our conversations, and the laughs we had. Love ya lots. Goodbye Ms. Butterfly.....until we meet again.

I will miss Carol. She loved to tease and be teased in return. I'll miss her "snippy" ways and those who knew her, knew the joke.  Peace my friend till we meet again.

I think of my co-worker and our loss and am reminded of the following: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7).  Carol will be deeply by her Boulder Police family. May God bless her memory.  Mason, our thoughts and prayers are with you. We loved your grandma.

What will we do without your orneriness??  God decided it was time for Him to take care of YOU instead of you always taking care of everyone else.  Enjoy the break my friend. Oct 31, witches, black and orange will always special to me! :)  Shawn

Now you can rest my friend. I will miss you!

Mark

Rest in peace, my friend. I miss you already, and my heart hurts. I know you will take good care of all my little fosters who couldn't stay with me and crossed the bridge.  You love all of them as much as I do and now you get to be their mommy!  Love, hugs and prayers to your family.  We are all here for them. ~ Kady

For such a small person, you gave great hugs.  You are missed Carol!

You earned your direct pass to heaven a long time ago.
Pam (Boulder PD)

I miss you Carol, you are an Angel - Renée

Mason, I want to let you know that I will miss your grandma very much. I know that you will too! I hope that all the memories you have of good times with your grandma make you happy. Kris Gibson

Rest peacefully, Carol.

You and your gentle smile will be sorely missed.

I will deeply miss spending time and talking with Carol.  She was such a part of so many of our lives.  Carol was quick with a smile and a kind word.  Her sense of humor was appreciated and her patience seemed infinite.  Carol worked so hard to better others lives.  I always looked forward to seeing her and trading humorous banter with her as well as meaningful conversation.  Rest well Carol.  -Kipp Euler-

Carol,
May you rest in peace and may your kindness remain in our memories.  
Look for the firefighters in your resting place, I'm sure they will have that pot of coffee brewing just for you.....God Bless
