Dear Carole, You will be much missed among your friends for your caring heart, your humor, and your warm affection,and you would always come when needed. I meet you nearly 50 years ago, when we were both Revolutionary War re-enactors, and also belonged to a Tea Society where we could dress up elegantly and share a cup. You made us some wonderful meals at your home, especially on holidays. Our condolences to Gil, your sons, and your many grand and great grand children. Love always, Meryl

Gilbert and family you have my deepest sympathy. I just found out out about Carole’s passing. She was such a nice person. If it wasn’t for Carole I would not be working where I am today. Always helpful and kind. She will truly be missed.
