I just heard and I cannot believe it. Carol was so sweet and always so good to us - I know our family will especially miss her at Christmas. My heart goes out to Jack, Leslie, and Lee; I know how tough this time is for you and I wish there was some way to help. Matt regrets he didn't get to know Carol better, but he will always remember how welcoming she was, and her amazing cooking!
