I am so sorry that Carol lost her fight. And fight she did. She was one of my dearest friends at Bartlett and after I left there. I didn't find about her passing until yesterday. The last time we talked she was cheerful, as always, and looking forward to going home. Rob, I know that you are in pain and I pray that you will find comfort. Carol is doing the greatest skydive of all and watching over all of her family friends. I loved her.

I met Carol my very first year in this System at Penn Ave, approximately 30 years ago, and always found her to have a sweet spirit. I know she will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her and love her. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family and friends in the loss of their loved one. I pray that God will hold you in the hollow of His Hand, as you realize that your loved one is resting in His Arms.

Carol was a wonderful person. I taught John David at Hesse and knew her as a phenominal mother and then later she was the counselor at IOH. Knowing this amazing lady in several capacities led me to admire her so much. She was truly an amazing person and I'm blessed to have known her. The entire Wright family is in my thoughts and prayers!

October 22, 2012

I was so sorry to hear of Carol's passing. I was not aware that she had been sick. I worked with Carol as a counselor and she was always such a quiet, gentle person. I suppose we lost touch after we both retired, but my thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Much love, Debbie Sevier
