Often in life, God offers us the privilege to know someone who is truly unique. Carol was one of those unique, witty, insightful persons who was full of grace and wisdom. She will be truly missed. To Raquel, my dear friend Ruby, and all who knew and loved Carol, know that having Carol in your lives was a blessing. Continue her legacy of love and inspiration. Stay blessed!
