When I heard about this my heart began hurting. Carol was my best friend during high school. We played basketball together, she was amazing on the court. She taught me how to water ski. What ever we were doing, we were having fun. Carol was a bridesmaid in my wedding but after that, we lost contact with each other. I have always regretted that.
I am so sad for her family who will have to go on without her. After high school, I never had another friend like Carol. "So much water underneath the bridge, let the water carry us away."
