I worked with Carol at both Carle(OB) and at public health. She stayed with us on a few of her trips back to Illinois and we stayed with her in Arizona once. We had good times together.

I worked with Carol at Public Health in Champaign. She was a wonderful woman and a great co-worker. I am sending my deepest condolences to her family. Lifting prayers for all of you.
