I was one of Carole's RSCJ novices. She was a huge help to me in freeing me up to make my first vows. I feel very lucky to have known her in her capacity as director of novices. She was a wondful woman

I have always been indebted to Carole for her admitting my children into The Episcopal School. It started them off in a way few other institutions could. She was an energetic, talented and wonderful person.
