When we moved to Palo Alto in 1961, Aunt Carol and Uncle Arthur were wonderful to us. Uncle Arthur met us at the airport and drove us to their home for dinner.

Dear Alison, Richard and Marisa,

I am so very sorry to hear about Carol's death; my heart goes out to you both.

I met Carol only once but she had a lasting impression on me for her graciousness, strength and her knowledge of and sophistication in using plants and flowers.

My thoughts are with you.
