I will always have fond memories of working with your mother at NERI. Actually, one could accuse us of socializing more than working! I am grateful I got to know her and send my sincerest condolences for your loss.

Carol's children, Linda, Scott, and Kris, grandchildren, and friends,
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mom, grandma, and friend. I had only known Carol for a short time, but she shared great memories of her family, and longtime friends. While caring for Carol, I came to realize her desire to be independent was extremely important to her. I am relieved to know that throughout her struggle with ALS, she was able to carry out her wishes to be in her own place and deal with her illness in her own way.
She will be missed.
My prayers are with you all!

Trish Fritts
