Carol was a second mother to me...i was at her house as often as my own. getting hosed after a mud fight, weekend trips to Grandpa's in Hocking, and mulberry pies. To the family, my deepest sympathies, i wish i could be there to support you through this. I will miss her dearly.

To Regina, Rita, Mary and Matt - and family - So sorry to learn of the loss of your mother. Dear Mrs. Benson gave us kids pie pans and spoons - and sent us in search of snipes in the backyard honeysuckle. She is fondly remembered for her kindness and friendliness. Christine Rees
