Dear Morrie & Family,
Our deepest sympathy to you all. Carol was a wonderful friend and co-worker of ours for almost 40yrs. We'll never forget her kindness and generosity. She always accepted people as they were and had much compassion for everyone especially for the sick and their families.
We had many great times together, especially getting together for birthdays etc.
When I was sad, she made me feel better. When I was happy, she rejoiced with me.
God Bless her soul and let her rest in peace. And God Bless all of you, her family whom she loved very much and bragged about all the time- she was very proud of you. She will be missed very much.
