I never had the pleasure of meeting Carol. The stories and experiences I have shared with both Michael and Libby show me what a wonderful woman Carol was. She was a mother who instilled love,kindness and a sense of family in her children. Carol is now at peace free of the pain we have here on earth. Her legacy continues. My prayers and love to the family as both Carol and George look on smiling.
