Dear Gina & Laura,
My sincere condolences to your mom, Carol. She was a wonderful woman and I will miss her dearly. We were introduced by Mary DePasquale my great Aunt, in hope that Carol could enlighten me with our family history. We hit it off immediately. Carol was a kind, warm human being , but most of all she was family. Blessings to your families.

I grew up with her daughters, Gina and Laura. Back in the day when I went to visit, Miss Carol was always so very warm and welcoming. She was so beautiful, inside and out and such a very bright and pleasant "light" to be around. I know at least Heaven is very happy to have one of its angels back in Miss Carol.
