I was very sad to hear of Carole“s passing. We were close friends for over 50 years-meeting first at Rogers HS. Carole was a great friend and a caring person. She always had a friendly smile and witty comments. From 6 am breakfasts at Bob Evans to exchanging Christmas gifts in a never ending variety of venues, we always had fun. She was like a member of our family, and I will miss her very much. Rest In Peace, Carole.
