My condolences to the Reif family. I will miss Carole, my friend of 50 years. She was always fun, smiling and willing to try anything. She was a great nurse role model. Carole will be missed by her many friends.

Thinking of Carole as the happy, energetic, warm and friendly woman that I knew her to be. Although we didn't spend a lot of time together over the years, she never failed to remember me at holiday times with a card or a gift, and she was always quick with smiles and a hug and conversation when we'd see each other after a long absence. I know she had a very difficult time of it in these last years, and for her release from that suffering, I am grateful. I wish Bob, Laura, Mike, Brian and Kelly, and everyone who held Carole so dear in life, the comfort of good memories and the knowledge that Carole took care of people in so many ways, and made a difference in this world. That's a gift. Peace,
Margaret
