Not sure what to say?

Jerry,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I worked with Carol at Honeywell in the 60's and she was always so happy and had such a great smile. After not seeing her for 40 + Years I saw both of you at a VFW fish fry. She was the same person as I had known years before, friendly, bubbly and that great smile. I am so happy I got to reconnect with her at that time. She was a wonderful person and I know she will be missed by everyone who knew her.
