My Deepest Sympathy!! I had the pleasure of working with Carol for the last year or so since she came to join the Columbia family. She always had a smile on her face and an answer for just about anything, or if she didn't know she would get an answer to you!! It was such a pleasure to get to know and work with her. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
