Anne - While I love hearing from you, these messages are a chilling reminder that we are mere mortals in this life and that we do not have control of when and how we will leave. I saw the Sentinel page and sent a message to the family. I will truly miss Carol for we had a good friendship as kids and I used to visit her father's shop for items for my clarinet. The old store used to sit on the left side of Orange Ave. very close to the Sentinel / Star building. Bud
