So very sorry to hear of Carolee's passing. She was a dear friend and was one of my very best volunteers at Grayson Nursing when I worked there as an activity director. Carole called Bingo for our residents and they loved having her do that. She was kind, compassionate, easy to get along with and would stop in when she visited from Richmond just to say hello to everyone. I will always remember her with love and respect. Sending condolences and prayers to her family.
