Curt, Amy & April,

I am so sorry that I was not able to attend the get together you had in Carol's remembrance. Living in Rochester makes it very difficult to make the trip back "home" when things like this happen. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

I will always remember Carol for her no-nonsense approach to life and her "What you see, is what you get" attitude. She was a kind, honest, and caring friend to all of her classmates at Schuylerville High School. The class of 1962 honors Carol's memory and our 12 other classmates who passed before her. May they rest in peace. My sincere condolences to Carol's family.

Carol was so much a part of my life. I would like to say how sorry I am to her family and friends of her passing. How do you say goodby to such a wonderful person, a great friend. she once told me that she never had a sister until I came along. It has been many years since we have became friends. We have traveled many miles together. The memories I will keep in my heart will never fade. I have her brother Leon to thank for introducing her to me. I have a heavy heart now for she will be missed, I always knew that she was just a phone call away. But now she is with my dad and the angels. Sleep peacefully Carol for the love of a friend never fades but just goes on forever. Love your sister
