She was my neighbor when I was a child and she and Frank were my Godparents. I was just remembering her and my fond memories of her sweetness and looked her up on Google. I am Lori (Crabb) Jage, daughter of Ed and Lorraine Crabb. I remember Carol and Nancy and I hope all is well with you and your families. I miss her and Frank. They were both so very kind and such very, very good people!
