Bonnie, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. When I would visit my mother (Ellen) at Sam's it was always a treat talking with your mom. Carol had such a wonderful sense of humor. She will be missed by my mother and I.

I am so sorry to learn of Carol's passing. We were friends in Dorchester-Waylyn's Rainbow Girls Chapter during high school. I enjoyed talking to her whenever I went to Sam's and had just seen her a few weeks ago. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. My condolences to you and your family.
