Carol Joan Drexler

I made her knit soc which she loved. Fun. Loved her.

Carol midwifed me for 10 years through a very difficult separation and emotional time. I feel blessed to have had her in my life and be a receiver of her wisdom and her love. Sending love to you Carol. God bless you and I hope you are still wearing your Socks and Sandals.

Carol was an extraordinary woman and I loved being able to be friends with her for over forty years. So glad we got to visit last year and to see her nestled into her new home. Leona Phillips

Carol, you were such a special soul, and you'll always live on in my heart. I wish we could gather and have a ritual to celebrate your life and all the souls you touched while you were here.

I loved her. She was great and wore the Sox I made for her!

I deeply loved, and continue to love this woman. Carol Joan, thank you for your presence among us...

I have known Carol since she moved to the valley. We shared much in common, especially our devotion to our work as psychotherapists. She was truly a trailblazer and gave so much to us, to our lesbian feminist community. She was a very special woman and I know that she will be greatly missed.
