Carol and I would travel the sailboat circuit together. She was a mentor and inspiration to so many and definitely to me. I truly loved her and miss talking to her, but know she will live in my heart forever.

Carol was about the kindest person you could ever meet and I really enjoyed our visits together. She was sharp as a tack, humble, and quick to a smile. To her family and friends, I am sorry for your loss. More than anything, I am sorry she is gone. May God rest her soul and swiftly reunite her with her husband, family, and friends in heaven.
