So sad to heard about Carol-
Carol was a good friend of mine In High School - we had some good times. Her brother Tom married my sister Debbie who we all know was waiting for her in heaven. I have the VandenBosch family in my thoughts and prayers with the loss of their daughter, sister and my friend.
Take Care, Denise Hoelzel
