Carol, you will be long remembered by the Benedict family. Philip, Lois, Joan and Ray remember many happy times and Ray enjoyed the fact that you were 10 days older than him. We had good times together. God Bless and keep you in HIS tender care.

I knew Carol for over 30 years. We talked, and emailed, very often. She was a very good friend. She was the best mother in law I could ever have.
