I am terribly saddened to learn of Carol's passing, and so long after it happened. Carol was my mother Jane Pope's friend, and she was my friend too. They became friends when they lived in New Cumberland at Beacon Hill and enjoyed each other's company tremendously. They started a Red Hats group together and they laughed all the time. I found this today after trying to figure out how to contact Carol to let her know my mother died a few weeks ago. The two of them fell out of touch as health issues increased, and now I know why we had not been able to reach Carol by phone. I hope that Carol's family sees this note so you know that I will really miss her. Lauryn, you meant the world to your grandmother -- she talked about you often and was so proud of you! My deepest condolences, despite being so late.

I got to know Carol at Shepherdstown Church. Carol was a very nice lady and feel so bad that I didn't know she passed away. I'm sorry I missed her Memorial service and several church members are also. Sandy Yost
