"To Jill, Joan, other family members and friends of Carol, I offer my condolences for your loss. Carol often spoke of her Highland neighbors as family. She was very happy with their visits and enjoyed living in their midst. My husband and I delivered Meals on Wheels to Carol, and she and I became friends immediately. She said the food was always good and never, ever failed to thank us for volunteering. To know Carol was to love her, and I shall forever miss my “Thursdays With Carol.”"
