God bless, Carole. We think of you always. A collage of photos with you and Nikki together over the years hangs on the wall in my office.

The disease, complicated by other medical conditions, caused her to use the loss of her gradually lose the use of her legs and affect other motor functions in the early 1990’s. Her condition deteriorated until she began to require skilled nursing facility care beginning in 1994. She moved from Fountainview in Portage to Valpo Care and Rehab in 1999.

Gina - Thanks so much for your kind words and especially for being such an important part of her life. You really captured Carole's essence. She was an incredible judge of character and always generously supportive of those she admired. Obviously, you were very, very high on her good list! She showed tremendous strength and insight in dealing with her failing health over the past several months. Carole meant so much to our small family and we are very proud of her.
