To the family and friends of Carol King,
Carol was a wonderful person with a great spirit.
I lived one door down from Carol at Ferncliff for almost 30 years. We had many great talks over the years and I always came away from our talks with a new sense of understanding on what we spoke about.I was also a teacher so we were never at a loss for things to discuss or just sit back and watch the sunset.

I will miss her along with everybody else but am a better person for having known her.

Our prayers are with Carol's family. My husband is a long time friend of Bill W, and I first met Carol when she taught at Pfeiffer Burleigh school. She had both my older children in 2nd grade and years later had my youngest at Harding School. She was a beautiful, special woman who will be missed very much!
