Carol - R.I.P - I have lots of fond memories playing together in elementary school and having Tapioca pudding that your mom always made!!

Wow I'm so sorry to hear about Carol. We were really good friends from kindergarten to the 7th grade when she moved. I remember playing at her house and mine, and funny things like her mom making us shakes or her dad driving us in his red? convertable sports car, and her singing along with all of the country hits that I didn't know. "(if you love me let me know?") Was that one? I remember her singing in her normal voice and then mimicking the deep bass of the male singer. I remember laughing a lot and thinking it was really neat that her mom had made her a baby book with comments on every page. And I remember that she loved to read. She came for a sleepover once and brought a stack of paperbacks and we hung out reading:) To Jo, Coy, Diane and Alex, I'm so sorry for your loss. She loved you all dearly and deeply-the kind of love you have in childhood lasts your whole life. Warmest regards, Shauna Reynolds
