I'd like to extend our sympathy to the entire Carroll family on the recent loss of your mother, on behalf of my father, Lionel Eubanks; my sister, Leslie Eubanks; and myself. I know that my late mother, Kae Eubanks, enjoyed staying in touch with your mom before my parents moved from the Longwood Drive house. We've always been in awe of how your parents built such an amazing family. We hope you all have peace at this time. Regards, Paula Brien (nee Eubanks)

Carroll family, I too am very sorry for your loss. Whenever our mom talked of yours she always called her "my dear friend". My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Carroll Family,
We didn't hear of your mom's death until yesterday. Had we known we would have attended the wake or funeral.

We are so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a terrific friend to our mom. We will always remember her with great fondness.

Sincerely,
Martha Doubek Dion

On behalf of the Doubek family, I'm so sorry for your loss and so sorry we didn't learn of your mom's passing until after the services.

Our moms are such terrific friends. What a bond!

On Christmas Day, the Doubek siblings gathered and all of us looked at an incredible photo album Joan gave to Rita 10 years ago. There were pictures of them in grade school and high school and pictures none of us ever had seen of Frank and Rita enjoying a beach outing with Joan and others. Truly, some of the best, romantic pictures I've ever seen of my parents.

The Doubeks will always lovingly remember Joan and all the Carrolls.
