Mr. & Mrs Croft,
You may not remember me but I was one of Carol's friends. I used to live up the street from her and would come over sometimes. I have known Carol since elementary school and became really good friends with her in 7th grade when we were in the same class and we also rode the bus together.
I was completely shocked by this. She was a great friend and will be truly missed. May the memories of Carol bring you peace.

Charles and Connie, Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your daughter Carol. I lost my own son two and a half years ago and I understand the pain you feel and what will come. When you are ready please consider contacting The Compassionate Friends, a support group for parents who have lost children at any age and for any reason. You will find much love and support there.
