As soon as I saw her picture, I shed a tear.a 62 year old man saw that photograph of the woman that taught him to read and write,the woman that gave him his first A.The woman that cherished the pictures he would draw for her so much,she would hang them on the bulletin board for all to see.The woman that proudly stood with her students for a class picture in front of Stillman School.The woman that has this 62 year old man rummaging through boxes in the attic searching for that class picture...

Maria, Karen and Cheryl- I am so sorry for your loss. I feel grateful to have known her and admire how she lived with such caring for her family and always treated others with such grace and class. She will always be an inspiration to me of how I should conduct myself through life.

Karen, Cheryl and Maria; I saw your mom's obituary in the paper this morning . She was such a beautiful lady. We enjoyed seeing her at the beach. She gave me a swan with ivy for the cottage. I did leave it when we left. You were all so fortunate to have her for your mother! May she rest in peace! You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you! Joanne and Dominick Fammartino

Carol was a wonderful guide and teacher here at Bonnet House Musuem & Gardens. She worked with our Education Programs teaching students to use their imaginations and complete wonderful works of art. She always had a bright smile and students young and old loved working with her. She has been missed the past few years. I am most grateful to have worked with her.
