Cheryl Ross wrote a sympathy message

“In loving memory of Carol Lee Eldred, Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss -- of a warm and loving mother taking wonderful care of her husband and family. She loaned one of her boy's trombone to one of our boys for 6th grade band at school while we both lived in Oregon IL. She and Dick were always up for going out to eat with everybody in our old van as long as she had her discount "coupons". We laughed and shared many wonderful memories. She will be truly missed.”
