Carol was a beautiful, loving person with a very big heart. Louie and Carol “adopted” Dick when he began renting Louie’s parents home next door. Carol fed him dinner every night and he was expected to notify her if he wasn’t going to be there. “Rosa’s Restaurant” as Louie called it, was open to all - family & friends. Carol definitely had a way of making everyone feel welcome. She was a very special person and will be greatly missed.
