  1. To all of Carol’s beloved, I am most sorry to hear of Carol’s death. She was a wonderful co-worker and a great asset to the school library for many years. Her heart was with her family members first and she was so proud and happy to have such loving children, grandchildren and a caring husband, her life partner. My thoughts are with you, may you find comfort in your memories and precious time with her.

  2. My long time neighbor and friend, Carol, I will miss you greatly. Our conversations at the mailbox, bowling with you in the league it took you three years to get me to join, watering your plants when you and Dick took those wonderful trips, all will be remembered and kept in my memories of you forever!

  3. Dick i am so sorry for your loss. Kim called me today to let me know of carol’s passing. I was totally shocked to hear this because carol always looked like a picture of health. I used to love hearing stories about your grandchildren and their accomishments and seeing her many pictures. I miss the good times we had at woodsmoke. We loved her kalochkis ( you know what i mean).

  11. Dear Dock and Family,
    I was so sad to learn of Carol’s death. We worked together for many years in the Highlands library. She was indispensable, so calm and kind to the students and everyone who knew her. When I retired she asked every student in all grades to write me a note or draw a picture. She collected all those notes in three large notebooks and presented those to me at my retirement party. I still have all of those and re-read them from time to time. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. My deepest sympathy is with your whole family. With love,
