Unhappy Carol, from Leslie's walking videos, passed away

I had no idea! I just found out from a Facebook group.

I remember her from many early Leslie workouts. She was inspiring, I miss those days, and she was part of them.

Carol had such a fun, positive spirit that was evident when you see her in Leslie's workouts. Prayers to her family, I'm sure she will be greatly missed.

Oh, how sad! Carol was always one of my favorites. I remember she teared up in one of the early WATP walks when Leslie mentioned her 70 lb weight loss.

I always choke up a little bit myself when we get to that part, even though I know it's coming. Every time!

So sad to hear, but thanks for sharing.

So sad! Her lovely personality always radiated off the screen, even though she quietly walked in the background. I've always had this weird affection for her, so much so that I tend to like the Leslie workouts she's in best, mainly because she's in them.
