Dear Dr. Mendelsohn and Family,
Please accept my Sincere Condolences and Prayers for Healing.
I have recently become aware of Carol's passing. Not knowing how I had missed that at the time of her passing during some of my health challlenges.....so sincerely sorry. Many years ago I met Carol....spent many times in receipt of her kindness, calmness, encouragement, peacefulness, as well as direction.....forever grateful.
Over many years when she needed to close her practice she has been thought about, prayed for, and treasured for the true gift that she was. I treasure the Sea Shell Globe she gave me my last visit with her. Every time I shake it up for a new perspective I feel her warmth.
Sincerely, Jean Nolan

To Carol's family,
Carol will be missed unbelievably by all of us at HSC. Her wise words of wisdom, her motivation and determination, and her witty sense of humor will always stay with me. Carol was an amazing woman who was remarkable in so many ways and I cannot express how much she will be missed. Every time we were together, she spoke of how much she loved and cherished her family. I know she will always be with us.
