Ron & Family,
So sorry for your loss. She has a beautiful smile in this picture just like she always had. Wonderful memories of Carol growing up in our small town of Ridgefield. She will be missed.

Carol and I worked together for close to 30 years. She did a wonderful job working with all kinds of students, first in a Study Hall room and through all the years until she was the Work Experience Coordinator. She was always so thoughtful, kind and encouraging. Once, before I married my current husband (I was a widow), I expressed concern over an issue and she listened and gave me the best advice ever... we are very happily married, partly because she put into perspective what was really important, wasn't afraid to confront MY issues, and stood by to support me. Another time, my previous husband and I were hauling a trailer from the coast home when our truck broke down. Carol and Ron drove almost the whole way to the beach with their truck, hooked our trailer up and drove it home for us while the truck was towed to the mechanic. I can't tell you how much she meant to me! My thoughts and prayers are with Ron and all of the family that she loved so much.
