Such a good friend. You will be missed. We had some good adventures. Especially the summer of the Newport Rental.

To Jean, Richard, Paula, Keith, James, and all who loved Carol - your tribute today was truly beautiful. Richard´s words captured her so perfectly - her kindness, her laughter, her love for the Cape, and the gentle way she made everyone feel at ease. I know how deeply she was loved and how much she gave to those around her. Her light and warmth will stay with all of you always, in every small moment of peace and beauty she so cherished.
With heartfelt sympathy and love,
Janice, Stephen, and Taylor McCourt

I was lucky enough to have a touching and sincere conversation w Carol at our last Framingham HS reunion ..i have a fuzzy recollection of one skip day drinking beers w some fellow "deviants" at her home.
At the reunion I had a chance to talk w her about her career and what she was doing.. I so admired her sense of style and lovely way of looking professional .
I asked her about her drive and motivation in life. She was very straight forward and said it was her hard upbringing. She "knew she never wanted to be poor".
She went on to share in HS She remembered after a traumatic divorce situation w an aunt having the responsibility placed on her..to help her family by getting her Aunts children ready for school clothed..fed?which made her late to HS.
Carol was in my home room. And I think I remember this exact instance..The teacher chastised her
Called her out in front of all of us.. calling her selfish for being late .. she stayed quiet.
She told me that she eventually fessed up to the real reason she was often tardy of late...
the teacher was remorseful. But it remained a haunting echo.. I told her she is probably a life lesson to not judge and be more empathetic to that teachers lessons in life.. & I so admired her strength and abilities to channel her emotions propelling herself forward.
I'm so very sad to see this notice of her passing. I will never forget her.
My condolences to her family.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Hillman
