We were among the first couples that Carol nurtured after her training with the Resolve Through Sharing Program for NCH. As first time parents, we were stunned when one of our fraternal twin girls was stillborn. Carol's guidance and compassion were truly blessings to us. Dave and Laura Jerbi

Mom took me under her wing like one of her own when we moved in next door in 1968. The sleepovers with Teri and Laura, Elaine's great Saturday morning breakfasts, meals too many to count, parties & family get togethers, visiting Mom & Dad in S.C. And those slide shows...where we laughed, cried, shared stories, and remembered. All the love!!! Mom, you are forever in my heart. Until I see you later! I love you all so much!!!! Amy J

Carol and I worked together at Northwest Community Hospital for many years. I have so many wonderful memories of Carol as a friend, and colleague. I learned so much from her as she helped our patients through their grief. All of us who knew her miss her. Many blessings to her family and may you all find peace and comfort as you reminisce about her life. She meant so much to so many.

Dear Carol, you brought so much joy and caring to our family, your leaving us creates a big empty spot. You have given us such great memories, the annual Fluder Christmas party, time I spent with you and Ernie in SC, the help you gave mewhen my own mom died and many more. I see you now, in heaven, dancing with Terri. Love to you and your family.
