Dear Norman and family. I am Carole's cousin. My mother, Ruth was Carole's father's sister.

I just heard of Carole's passing today hence the late entry here. Carole was very near and dear to me although I had not seen her for a number of years.

The last time I saw her we went to a Mexican restaurant in NYC. And we ate at the chef's table in the kitchen. She really enjoyed that.

She was a brilliant and witty woman and will be missed very much.

I am very sorry to hear this news. Carole was my mother's cousin, and when I met her for the first time, I was 16 and thought Carole was the most glamorous woman I'd ever met. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Dear Norm,
We met just once at Carole's apt. in New York. Carole was my childhood next-door-neighbor and like a big sister to me. Our mothers were best friends. We had lost touch these past few years but I continued to think of her often. I am so sorry to have heard just today of her illness and death. Please accept my condolences and convey them if you can to Marty's children.
Sincerely,
Ila Weiss

Dear Norman and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Carole's passing. She was my late husband's (George Bernstein) cousin. I always enjoyed visiting with her and seeing her at family gatherings with all the cousins, aunts, and uncles. My condolences to you, your children, and the extended family.
Sincerely,

When Dr. Silver first came to Stern College for Women is was a young, brilliant and extremely talented teacher. As en English major, I was so impressed with her knowledge, her ability to convey so much in those 45 minute classed. Dr, Silver left a lasting impression on me throughout my life. I will never forget her which is what a truly great teacher does - leaves a lasting imprint having imparted some special and unique that her students carrying around inside of them forever. May her family take comfort in the good remembrances they will always have of Dr. Carole Silver. May her memory be for a blessing and may her family be comforted among all the mourners of Zion.

Dear Norman, and family,
We are very saddened to hear of Carrie's death. It's hard to believe she will not be coming to the 27th floor again for drinks and nibbles. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Margaret and Leslie Dreyer, New York.
