    At the many celebrations I had the opportunity to share with the family, Carol was always a joy to be around. Heartfelt sympathy to Barb, Donovan, and Leif, as well as the rest of the family.

    So sorry to hear of Carol’s passing. We were buddies our freshman year at Marian. She was a wonderful friend.
