I will always miss Carole and her friendship. She was my best friend in grammar school and though we went our separate ways after that, our friendship resumed as if there had never been an interruption. My love to her wonderful family.

Carole was a loving, caring, wonderful person. Her warm heart embraced me and we were super close grammar school friends. I lived at 6240 Washtenaw and she at 6240 Francisco - we had a super secret short cut. We went to different high schools, but got together when our husbands were in the service. The last five or so years our friendship was renewed and I am grateful we had those times.

Carole was a wonderful friend who was always positive, never complained, and smiled all the time. After new year I called and she was moving to assisted living.
She will be missed. Cara Madansky

As our mother's children, Terry, Cathy and I appreciate all who knew and supported our mother! Through her own love and wisdom, Mom successfully raised her children to be fair, honest, hard working and lead contributive lives. Mom always led by example "raising herself" by her bootstraps when the chips were down enabling our family to weather many obstacles. She always lent help to those in need, brought people together, and had a great love of life! We will miss her, however she will live with us in our hearts forever! Daisaku Ikeda, President of Soka Gakkai International (a large lay buddhist organization) stated to someone once"to to "proudly sing their mother's song." All of Mom's children are determined in our own unique way to "proudly sing our mother's song" to repay our debt of gratitude to her!

My mother in law Carole was an amazing, kind hearted, bright and loving person. I learned so much from her profound wisdom. She never focused on the superficial things of life. I will love and miss her always!

Mom was the best and like my sister Cathy, I appreciate all who knew and supported her. Through her own love and wisdom, Mom successfully raised us to be fair, honest, hard working and lead contributive lives.

She always lent help to those in need, brought people together, and had a great love of life! We will miss her,however she will live with us in our hearts forever!

Carole was my sorority sister at the D Phi E house at the University of Illinois. She was always so energetic, kind and full of fun ideas. I haven't seen her in many years except very occasionally at duplicate bridge. I'm sure she will be missed by her loving family.

Carole was a loving, kind person. We met in grammar school and in more recent years we saw each other at dinners and happy occasions. Her smiling welcoming face and friendship will be missed.

This is Cathy Young, Carole's daughter and I want to thank anyone who was friend with my mom and who supported her throughout her life. Our family's life will be very sad without her, but she will live in our memories forever.
