I knew Carol as a client and a dear friend for over a decade. She treated me like family. I have very fond memories of her. It's sad I could never meet her in person since I am from India, and we only ever spoke on the phone or Skype. She even considered coming to my wedding in India in 2017, but her health didn't permit her to take a 21-hour flight! I wish she did so we could meet :(

I remember this one time when she sent me a cute hair clip and a muffler from Macy's, she took the effort to ship it to India, and we later laughed as it said "made in India."

My condolences to Adam and his family.

It´s a year since both Carol and dearest brother Bobby have passed. I´ve such a deep hole in my heart for the entire family!
I was with Bobby for 8 yrs ( 1st and only TRUE love of my life). When Bobby took me to his home on Kent St, Carol answered the door. After a quick assessment, her 1st comment was; " I see what my brother sees in you...you look like me"!!!
My mom and Louise went to HS together....and I had a MAJOR crush on Harry!
Kept in touch from time to time w/ Bobby over the years. Hard to accept that they are all gone. My heart will forever hurt from such losses!

That was 3 epople. First my next door neighbor who had a bad heart. Then my neighbor across the hall who had colon cancer. Then Carol said she said to her brother, Bobby that she wante d to go first so I wouldn't mourn you. He said "No!"I want to go first so I don't have to mourn you. Hdied and she died. Maybe they got their wish.
