I met Carol at Picatinny Arsenal in the late 80s. She was a cool lady who could be serious to balance books, do payroll, and still be so much fun. She had a great laugh that was infectious. I´ve often wondered where she was, but no one seemed to know. Now I know...Heaven. Peace, dear Carol.

Carol was a dear friend, whom I met at work in the early 80s. Carol was always fun to be with as she was ready to chat, for an adventure, fun just to share a meal and spend time to talk. One of our grand adventures in the 80s with Gregg and my husband Ed was a trip to Margarita Island, Venezuela. So many laughs, a few drinks, adventurous side trips, and a very rickety hotel, which burned to the ground several weeks after we were back home. Ed and I enjoyed hanging out with Carol and Gregg for many years until Gregg's untimely passing. Carol organized several trips to Bermuda, Mexico, Panama Canal, always enjoyable as she organized well and good times were had. We visited Carol in Erie and enjoyed her beautiful home with great views. In recent years as so often happens with increasing age and distance , we didn't visit or get together. Our relationship was special as we enjoyed sharing so many of the same things. Carol was a sincere, thoughtful friend who loved her three children and her grandchildren and delighted in their successes and their exploits. I am saddened to learn of her passing. Rest in Peace dear friend.
