    My condolences to Art and the rest of your family during this difficult time. Carole was a friend of our family going back many years. We all grew up in Philadelphia and went to Wharton Memorial Methodist Church. Carole was closer to my older sisters, Vivian, Eleaner, and Susan as I was the youngest. We also had a brother Bruce. But, I have many wonderful memories of all of us during those years. I also have memories of the times when Vivian, my daughter Janie and I came to visit Carole and Art in Sharon Hill. Art would take us into the City and we would drive all around the neighborhood that we were raised in, and into the center of the city. Good memories! What a blessing it is to know that Carole is not suffering any more and that she is with our Dear Lord and all of her family and friends that have gone on before her, and that one day we will all be all be together.

    Carole was my dear friend for the past 60 years. We met in our 30s at the Sharon Hill swim club where we all spent our summers with our kids. No one was a stranger to Carole, everyone was a future friend. With a heavy heart I send my deepest condolences to all who loved her.
