Carol and I have been friends for 71 years, since we were both about a month old. We live next-door to one another. She was like a sister. I will miss her terribly and I´m heartbroken that she has passed away. Wonderful memories are forever with me and they will be treasured. I send my sincerest sympathies and condolences to her family.
