As a neighbor and a classmate, I remember Carol's radiant smile. We lived across the street from Washington Park, and we enjoyed baseball, tennis skating and many other childhood games. Carol
served as bridemaidsmaide in our wedding. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to her sister Jean and her family.
