Carol weathered the stress of multiple road trips I shared with Cindy! To AZ and back, home from PA, multiples to & from Alex. She was a calming voice of reason, back in the days of pay phones and collect calls. She ALWAYS accepted. Such a beautiful human, inside and out.
You will be missed, carol anne! You better be catching up on some shenanigans with your Jim!
