One of my favorite stories thru the years. My mom was 4 when her little sister (Carrol) was born the day before her birthday. My mother was upset, because their mom was in the hospital. At one point, once they were home, my mom put Carrol in a wagon and tried to sell her. Thankfully she wasn’t able to get her sold before being caught and the two were super close as adults.

Loved growing up with visits to Aunt Carrol’s (and family) Loved when she and Emil had their band and practiced in the living room. Emil did an awesome Johnny Cash, but Carrol was even better with Patsy Cline songs. She had an wonderful voice. Loved listening to stories of the band days. Totally loved her and will miss her more than anyone can imagine. Fly high sweet lady. You will be missed by so many.
