I just learned of Carole’s passing and am so sorry for your loss. Carole was a very sweet girl with a wonderful sense of humor. We kept in touch over the years through emails and Texts. Having been Classmates of both Carole and John I am doubly sad right now. John, you two were very lucky to have spent your lives together. God bless you and comfort you as you cope with your loss.
