To Keith and Shari and family my deepest sympathy for Carol I remember her as a child from frenchtown
Carol and I spend many hours riding our horses together around Crawford County. We were MASH classmates and rode the same school bus and became friends. Whenever we would run into each other through the years we would chat to catch up although those times were few and far between. I have many fond memories of our times together. RIP dear girlfriend.
To the whole Barickman family. I went to my first away volleyball game in Cochranton and walked in with Carol. Because I hadnt been to an away game, I didnt realize I needed to pay. Carol bought my ticket that night. She was in the grade behind me in school. I didnt realize until that night who she was. My deepest sympathy to all of you. Barb Armstrong
