I was shocked to hear about Carol's death. We have been friends for 40 years. We shared stories, concerns, and joys and happiness. We worked hard for our special needs children and made a difference in the lives of children to follow. My family sends their thoughts and prayers for Carol and Jim's family members. Her love for you will live on in your hearts forever. God Bless!

I try to keep out of this web stuff, but can't help it today. I was lucky enough have a great conversation with her on a whim. Had no idea she was ill.
I feel grateful I had the chance to say thank you to the person she was

May you find some peace in this time of great sorrow. As Steve's college friend, I only met your mom once, but I distinctly remember her coming to move Steve in and CLEAN the house!! What a firecracker of a lady! May it be of some comfort that she's with your dad now.
