Carol was my sister-in-law. I remember her as being sweet, kind, caring, and giving. She was married to my oldest brother Steve. My wife Donna and I were surprised and saddened to hear of Carol’s passing. I had a long phone call with her about a month ago. In this last call, she talked about her health issues, but I didn’t get the sense that they would result in her death so soon. Carol loved teaching in Ohio and Florida, she loved her family and she loved Steve. I know she had a hard time with my bother’s long decline and his death principally from Alzheimer's disease. This was the same disease that took my mother and initially caring for her was one of the reasons Steve and Carol moved to Florida. Carol missed the life she had with Steve including the social life, golfing, and travel. While her current health issues made life difficult and sometimes unhappy; she seemed enthusiastic about Damian’s graduation and his job prospects, and about her move back to Ohio to be with her family. We even talked about what she wanted to do with her new home in Ohio. That’s why her passing surprised me. Donna and I offer our condolences to Damian, who Carol and Steve loved and cared for, and to Carol’s sisters, Marilyn and Margie. I now how hard it is to lose a sibling. Both of my brothers are gone. Carol will be missed but remembered fondly by those that knew her.
