Candice, Derrick & family: I am so sorry for your loss. I have many great memories of your mother, and father, at many FRANKLIN functions. I was a programmer the same time your father was at the FRANKLIN. I never worked on any projects with him, but has a lot fun in the company and at functions. Your father went on one go our NASCAR trips with Tom Thompson and Harry Sablotny. I have sent out a note to our FRANKLIN family about your mother. Again I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sad to see that Carol passed away. She was one in a million. Always smiling and happy! She became a second mom to me and let me tag along with her and her family. So many memories of skating with her and going to New Smyrna beach. Truly one of the best moms I know;) Hugs to Rick and Candy and your families…..I see her smile in both of you. Love to all—Shellie
