I was so sad to hear about Carol what a wonderful lady,I always enjoyed our conversation when i would do her hair. She always talked very fondly about her children and grand children. She will be missed. Tony Tardi Andy’s Hair Design
In the mid 1970’s when we were young adults at River Forest United Methodist Church, we formed the JOY Group – Jesus, Others, and then Self. Don and Carol were a part of that group. We had progressive dinners, bowling parties, theater outings and served the church at coffee hours, rummage sales, pantry days, and Hunger Walks. The bonding experience was amazing. Ken and I remember Carol and Don very fondly as well as Barbara and Tom who were very young at the time. Our sympathies to the children on now the loss of both their parents.
Sincerely,
Ken and Judy Landeck
I unfortunately did not know your Mom, but if she was as gracious as you she must have been wonderful. Wells and Joann
