Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?





Dr. Williams was always such a calming presence seeing children in Cardinal Glennon's emergency room. As a nurse, I witnessed her at work, and she was such a good teacher. I remember her with fondness.

I have many fond memories of Carol, when I was in formation at Aquinas Institute and served in music ministry at College Church. She was a loving, just, and faith-full woman, who lived the spirit and mission of St. Dominic and St. Catherine. May she enjoy a grand heavenly reunion.

Fondly,

I fondly remember Dr.Williams from when I was working as a nurse in the emergency room of St. Luke's hospital on Delmar in the late '70's. She was a great doctor and I could tell she was well loved by her patients and the staff. She gave her all to her patients and whatever she did. Sorry I never got to see her in the last years.

Carol was a wonderful friend. Her words of wisdom echo through my life. She counseled and consoled me during my mother's illness and after my mother's death. Carol has a place in my heart forever.
