Dear Susan,
I just found out from my cousin, Gail, that Carroll had died. I am so shocked and saddened and my heart goes out to you.
I have so many fond memories of the three of us in the 90's, "running into each other" for dinner at the Lynnfield 99 and having so many laughs. He was a lovely man and always so kind to me.

You were one terrific couple and please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
Love to you all.
Joanne Irving
