Carol and my wife, Muriel, were friends. They were very active in the pro-life movement in Hazleton with its base at Bishop Hafey High School. I hope Mo (Muriel) was there to greet her.

David and Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember
Carol when she went to UDS and became the evening instructor. Because of her dedication and hardwork those students are what they are today. Carols caring and loving ways will never be forgotten. Even though years have passed and we haven't seen each other Carol will always have a special place in my heart.
Love Helene Morsa and Family (Philadelphia, Pa)
