Carol and my mom were good friends when I was growing up in Portland. I remember having wonderful conversations with her as a teenager. Carol was always understanding and there was a quiet strength and wisdom to her. Carol also had the best sense of humor. I know she will be missed greatly but am happy to have known her. Carol's sense of adventure and zest for life will continue on with her grandchildren. My thoughts go out to Vance, her steadfast partner.

So sorry to hear about Carol. She was my Dad´s cousin, and they loved to get together and tell stories. Carol and Vance were so kind and friendly to me when I started college in Oregon. She was such an interesting person and I really enjoyed knowing her. Tracy Meyer
