My deepest sympathy to Harold Brown and the family on the death of a lovely lady, Rose Carol. My memories of years at Beth Shalom, and working in the Park Forest Chapter of National Council of Jewish Women highlights the sense of community, organization work, kindness,energy that Rose Carol brought to us all. Just yesterday prior to seeing the sad news in the paper, I thought of her as my mind drifted to the coming holidays and her instructions many years ago on how to cook a Thanksgiving turkey. Memories we will all cherish of a wonderful lady.
