Carol Tacker

Carol was my first and best friend in junior high school and high school in Dallas, when I was new in Dallas. We shared many secrets, wrote stories, played endless games of Monopoly, swam in the local pool, and much more. She was a kind and loving friend and I was sad when our law careers took us far apart. I lost contact with her and often wondered how she was, if she was happy. I just came upon her obituary and am heart-broken. I would have liked to have talked with her one last time, but...

Dear Carol,

I am so grateful for your friendship for the last five years. I wlll never forget you or the characters you created in your marvelous creative stories that have brought pleasure to so many people.

My pack of huskies sends a last howl and woodle to you.

Carol was a wonderful spirit and great mentor. She will be missed by many, especially by many of her proteges as we found her an inspiration and kind-hearted spirit.

I was saddened to find out about Carol's passing through an e-mail to Hillcrest alums in the class of 1967. We went to the same schools for about 14 years but were seldom in classes together after Preston Hollow Elementary. My prayers and thoughts will be with the family in this time of loss.
