Keith, Colette, Fred and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Although I didn't know your mom long, I was blessed to be a part of her life. I will miss her spunk, giving her face massages (she loved those) and her wink whenever you did or said something she liked. Most of all, I will miss her kind heart.

To Keith, Fred, Collette and your families... I'm so sorry to hear that your mother has passed. I have such wonderful memories of the summer that Ann and I spent time with your family in New Jersey. Your mom was very kind to me and taught me so many things. We had fun every day... lots of laughter. She took us shopping to the mall in Cherry Hill and bought me a beautiful dress for school. We went to see Chubby Checker and the Shan gri las!  What a generous, caring sweetheart she was!

Keith, Fred, Colette, & families,   I have just now learned of your mom's passing, and though you may not remember me, we are connected. I remember when I was small & we had a bridal shower in our home for your mom before she married your dad, my uncle. I remember how elegant she was and how excited I was. I also remember their wedding. It was the fittest one I ever attended at about age 7 or 8.  We visited your folks in NJ one summer & I remember her being such a sweet person.  I am also sorry that I never realized how close to her I had moved.  We lose track over the decades but I am in Lancaster County as well.  Sending prayers your way, and memories of a wonderful aunt.  Love and blessings to you all, Bev

We have just now learned of Carol's passing.  I know it has been a while but I want to send our sincere condolences.  Your mom was our cleaning lady back in the 80's and 90's.  That doesn't sound like a great job but let me tell you, she was one of the most intelligent people with whom I have ever been associated.  She was like the caretaker of our family.  As I remember the only reason she took the job was because Judi was a working professional at DuPont and as a result of her caring for the house allowed Judi to work.  your Mother was a very important part of our lives.  Ed Jefferis
