Dear Paul, Ken, Amelia & Family;
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. She was a very special person there is no doubt about that. She and I have been friends since she was in 3rd grade and I in 2nd.
Her family was always so good to me and I will never forget all the good memories I have of Black Point with Carol & family. Ma Kroymann was always full of tricks and jokes on Carol & I.
In spite of all Carol was going thru herself she always called me during my recent open heart surgery. She always had time for others in spite of herself.
She was a very special person and sure lived a life of empathy, caring and strength.
Bless all of you and may you find comfort in all your good memories.
Love, Topper

To Carol's family: I and my mother would like to extend our sympaty to your loss. What a sweet woman she was! I knew her primarily when she befriended Dot Fortier. Dot's son was in a coma and Carol came over to do laundry and errands. She did this thru her spirit of generosity and heart. She was a true lady, with never a word about her own burdens that she carried. Truly a nice, warm, sensitive listener--I'm sorry that she leaves her husband who she was very dedicated to. I hope he will be taken care of by his family. Again, I am so sorry for the loss of a great mother, wife, and grandmother.
