If it wouldn't have been for Aunt Carol, I would have never seen the Atlantic Ocean. I remember the night we drove into Lake Worth, coming from Wis. It was late and dark, and I just wanted to get to her condo and go to bed after our long road trip. But Aunt Carol said, oh no, we've driven this far, I am taking you to see the ocean! I was in awe. That was quite a sight to behold for a 16-year-old country gal. I think of that night often. Thanks for the memories Aunt Carol! My sympathy to my Cousin Joe and "Cousinette" Jada. Thinking of you all, The Joe and Joy Carter Family
