Carol was a special lady!! She cared for my kids as well as
many others at Kasson School. I am so glad to have known
her over the years, and that I got to work with her with Elections, through the Courthouse..she will be missed!!
Rest in peace Carol! You was such a nice lady and the best lunch lady ever! So many memories from Kasson as a kid talking to you! You made school so much better!
As a gift, Carol cross stitched the verse Mathew 4:19 and John framed it in a shape of a wooden fish .A small metal plate with the inscription Kevin and Sandy accepted the call Feb 1990 was placed on it. . It had hung in every parsonage, we were assigned. While packing for our move to Florida we noticed the beginning of our Ministry was Feb 1990 and the end of our journey was Feb 2023. We continue to treasure this in our new home. We are Blessed she shared her beautiful talent with us. Our hearts and Prayers are with John and the family. We love you!
