Carol and I were classmate in high school. Although we never connected in our adult life, I remember her energy and enthusiasm with admiration. She seems to only have expanded these gifts as a leader in the community. Condolences to the family.

Dear Richard, Sarah, Elizabeth and family ~ I just now heard of Carol's passing and I am so so deeply saddened. Our few efforts in recent itmes of trying to connect never worked out. She was and is always a shining light from UCLA days on. Please know my thoughts are with you. Marsha Kramer Keller

Lighting a candle for Carol...in exchange for the light, love & joy she brought into my life! We we childhood friends....All the years at Temple Beth Hillel...Junior High & High School. Though our adult lives found us taking separate paths...my childhood is filled with memories of a friend & playmate, who I dearly loved, as only "girls" do! My world is a little smaller & a little darker knowing that Carol is gone!

Dear Richard: My sympathies and condolences to you and the family. I guess ha-Shem needed a fantastic song leader in Olam ha-Ba. I will long remember her twenty-five megaton version of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" back in the days of Camp Saratoga . . .

Dear Rabbi Levy, I am so sorry to hear of Carol's death. Elihu just wrote that he attended the shiva. I remember being so moved at your dedication to her in Gates of Prayer. We met so long ago when we first arrived in Los Angeles and at times since. May her memory be for a blessing.

Please accept my condolences. Although I haven't seen Carol since our teens, I remember what an important, inspiring role she played with her guitar playing, singing, and leadership role she had both at Camp Saratoga and at Temple Beth Hillel. She was a very special person.
