Ken,
Finally Carol is at peace. She was absolutely the best. It's been hard to watch her go through so much in the past few years.

Your friend, your neighbors

Ken,
Your life with Carol will be the greatest American love story of all time. She was so proud of your musical talents and loved being a part of that with you.
With her deep wisdom and open naivete, Carol was the most unique and perceptive woman I ever met. Her answer to life was yes, always yes.
I feel blessed beyond words that I had the gift of friendship with Carol Presthus.
