   I knew your mother since 2002, as an intelligent, interesting, and unique person. We had some enjoyable conversations. She was brave and strong in character to the end. I will miss her. I sympathize with your loss.

   I knew Carol through the years, got together off & on and we enjoyed many good times out here in the country. I have a picture she took of my pony & me on the cart which she didn't want to go on. Was a fun lady. My deepest sympathy.
