I’m so sorry to learn of your Mother’s death. I have very fond memories of your parents. Carol was always just a door or two away. She was a very caring neighbor of my parents and their family. May you girls find peace in knowing you will all be together one day. No tears or heartbreak in Heaven. Sending my love to all.
