Barry, Andrea, and family, we continue to send our prayers your way. What a beautiful woman. Although I did not have the privilege of knowing her directly, I am certain she had an amazing heart, not only because of the wonderful son she raised, but also because of all the kind things I have heard she has done for others. Continue to cherish these memories, now and always. Praying for an amazing amount of peace in the days to come.

Carol was a dear friend and we miss her already. Bill, Scott. Melissa and Barry, you have our deepest sympathy. Florida is sad. Her grandchildren and her flowers were her blessings. Nothing will seem the same without her soft voice and gentle smile.
