Deb, Bruce and Families; it was an honor and privilege to be able to be Carol´s Hospice Volunteer for the last several months! She talked a lot about her family and how much she loved you all! I will have many fond memories of our time together. She was a true inspiration to me and I will miss her . May she rest in peace.
