Nick, I worked with Carole at King Betts & Allen for many years. My husband, David, worked with Dale at DuPont for over 25 years. Unfortunately, they both passed away from cancer. Carole was such a smart and sweet person. Condolences and hugs to you, the family and her friends. Wish I could be there but I live in Louisville now.

Sharon,

I’m so sorry for your loss of your sister. I could hear the love for her as you talked about her. Your faith will help to uphold you during the days of grief ahead and sustain you in the knowledge that you will see her again.

I remember you growing up. And I remember flying to Charleston & going to your wedding with Tommy T. My flight got in late, but Y’all were waiting at the airport for me. You were such a beautiful bride!
You’re now in God’s palms, released from your earthly body when the angels came to carry you home 🙏🏻
