i only knew Carol from our once a year arts and faith retreat at Lutheridge (Create in Me) but what a joy and blessing to know her. Such a generous spirit and creative person. I’m so sorry for your loss. We will all miss Carol’s smile and laughter at future gatherings.
I met Carol at the Create in Me retreats at Camp Lutheridge. We had many wonderful conversations together as we worked on various art and craft projects. I will remember her for her sweet and generous spirit. My prayers are with your family as you mourn her loss.

Dan and Family,
Richard and I are deeply sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
My deepest condolences to you and your family. I have fond memories of our early childhood with my cousin Carol Ann in Long Beach, CA. She will be missed.
We are so sorry for all of you! Had not seen Carol in a long time but still have very good memories of her and all the family.
Mrs. Raffensperger, you will always be remembered as my first caregiver in my life. My dad stayed on a ship those first 3+years and my mom was working very hard on her nursing degree/career. You filled a very special role in my family’s life as babysitter and friend to us Hanson’s. Thank you and you will be treasured.
I pray for comfort and peace among your family.
Dan I just wanted to tell you that I am sorry for your loss. I am sure Carol will be missed by many.
Dan, I am truly sorry for your loss. May God wrap His arms of comfort and peace around you and your family. If I can help in any way please call.
Marilyn and I send our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
