I was so saddened to hear this shocking news from a high school classmate. Carol and I were best of friends in High School and created numerous memories that I'll never forget.....Playing basketball, volleyball, going to camps, dating , vacations, eating.....the list goes on and on. When I received this news, I had such a pit in my stomach and thought what a shame we didn't stay in touch over the years.
My heart goes out to the entire Lombardi and Sung familIes during this time of grief.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
Sincerely,
Lisa Scandaglia Goettel
