Jerry, Kristen and Kellie,
I am sorry and so saddened by your lose. I love Carol and cherish all the memories we had, growing up. All the time spent with your family. I remember the drives we always went on. She would always bring pretzels, for a treat (my Mom never bought pretzels!) and the summers in Twain Harte, what great times spent with all of you! When I think of her I can hear her laughter and picture her smile, I was always happy around her, she was like a second Mother to me. My only regret is that as we got older and things changed, our families grew apart. I also know that my Mother has always loved and missed not seeing her dear friend on a daily basis. Sending my love and prayers to you all.

Jerry, Kristen and Kellie
I am so sorry for your loss and truly share your pain. Carol was like a second mother to me. I will always remember her laugh and smile along with all the great times our families shared in Twain Harte when I was a kid. I remember one very stormy day my Mom driving from our garage to go pick up Carol ...then drove Carol back home from our garage to yours across the street. She will always have a special place in my heart.
Thank You Carol for giving me some great childhood memories.
You are all in my prayers

Love
