You were such a strong person in life, through everything that crossed your path. Your strength in facing all the diversity over the years, I will emulate to use for my strength in life too. You were a leader. And you deserved so much more, Carol. God bless you.

Carol was my boss at Superior Court for 5 years. But more importantly we became friends. She had the ability to make me laugh in my worse moments - and during her worst moments she kept a positive frame of mind. I have NO IDEA how she managed it (given all she went through in a very short period of time). She was my "library" because she was an avid reader as was I. SO MANY fond memories of Carol - she is missed. RIP my friend ...
