There are no words to express my heartbreak at losing my lifelong friend, my cousin Carole. She was kind and caring, funny, loyal, and wonderful person and I´m going to miss her terribly. Thank you to her beloved husband who cared for her with love and tenderness during her brief illness. I´ll see you soon enough, Cuz.

Carole was a dear friend. We were in a group called THE GOLDEN GIRLS for over 25 years
We went out every month to eat
And had Christmas celebrations in one of our homes. She was a sweet and thoughtful person always and I will surely miss her.
