To Carol's family - I knew Carol from her coming into The State Bank of Geneva. She was always so pleasant and it was a joy to talk with her. We have been waiting to see her as she was usually here the fourth week of every month. It is hard to hear of her passing (just this morning). She will be missed by those of us in the Loan Department. My sincere sympathy.
