Frank, I am so sorry to hear of Carol's passing. I try to keep up with local news but didn't see this until today (7/1). Carol was so good to me during Richie's illness. She had such a tough battle but never seemed to be down. I couldn't have asked for better neighbors. My condolences to your entire family.

I graduated from UML with Carol and we were great friends as we started our careers at St John's hospital. We had lost touch over the years but I often think of the fun times we shared. May you rest in peace my friend.

I worked with Carol at St. Johns/Saints Memorial and remember her as a kind, smiling, graceful woman. My deepest sympathies to her family.

I worked with Carol at Saints and have many wonderful memories of lunches where we laughed til the tears ran. A woman of great spirit, compassion and heart. When I moved to my new home back in 1995, Carol was part of a lovely group of co-workers who had a spectacular crab apple tree delivered to our family. It is now tall and wide and blossoms magnificently in my front yard....and I always think of my lunch bunch....I wish the family many warm memories, hugs, and much peace.
