After decades of singing together and sharing a wonderful friendship, we will miss Carol so very much.

Carol was one of those special women who would always raise her hand in support of her friends and family, her pets, and of course her barbershop harmony family, The City of Flags Women's Chorus.

Long live the memory of our beloved friend, Carol.
