I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Zwiener's passing. She was my science teacher at Park and I loved her dearly. She was always there for me when I needed help in school and in life in general. She was a very loving, graceful, and grateful person. We remained friends long after I graduated high school. I will miss her so much. May she rest in peace, and much love to everyone in the family.

Although we only knew Carol for a short time, in the amount of time we did she had shown nothing but gratitude, grace, and appreciation for everything in her life. Those characteristics have been passed onto her children and we see it through Blake, he shows our daughter Ashlley everyday. She has touched our family with the open arms she has given to Ashlley, loving her like her own. We will forever be grateful. She will forever shine through with what she has instilled in her children and everyone who knew her.
