As a new Pope is elected, I write in memory of my Catholic friend, Carol. She has been a loyal friend all our lives. Always striving to achieve, she became a RN after attending U of M, then a Medical Doctor, and then a Psychiatrist.
At MCHS, she was a friend to many, a drum major, a cheerleader, and she participated in many activities.
Carol made her parents proud; she had a sister and two brothers.
Most of all, Carol loved her husband, Jack, her daughters, Shannon and Allison, and her grandchildren.
I'll always remember my loyal friend with love,
Sandy

Shannon, Allison and family. The Rizzos are sending you love and thinking of you. I admired your mother greatly. Her intelligence and drive to go to medical school as a mother were inspiring. I have fond memories of being at your home and how welcoming and kind both your mom and step dad were. Lots of love and our deepest sympathies. Love, Kable, Bob and family
