I met Carol as our next door neighbor when we moved to Harvard in 1979. She and I, along with 3 others, formed a group of fun loving young mothers who celebrated each other´s birthdays as well as anything else we felt worthy of a celebration. Carol and I had different opinions on some things over those years but when geography separated us we always stayed in touch. In our later years we bonded over such things as recipes emailed back and forth and health issues. I will miss just knowing you´re there Carol. Rest In Peace and sincere condolences to your family.
