So sad to hear of Carol's passing. Was fortunate enough to know her many years from 221 E. 78th st. She was always kind and our many times at Chinatown dinners with Paul and Dana and family. Love to the family

I knew Carol through art. For a few years, a half-dozen of us would meet weekly at the Carter-Burden Center to explore watercolors. "Explore" is the right word for Carol, for whom every painting was an adventure. I am saddened by the news of her passing and send sincere condolences to her family.
