I am so glad I got to tell you Anna what a beautiful job you did raising Carol and Steven! Carol was a friend to me at a time when I felt so alone. She could be trusted and someone I could always count on. A true woman of character and class. Nothing has changed. You told me how very proud you were of her and all of her accomplishments and how she followed in your footsteps. We will miss you. I pledge to be the same friend to Carol that she has been to me. Thank you for your many prayers and we will see you again someday. The best is yet to come!
