I met Aunt Carol in 1980 my first summer in Michigan after moving from Philadelphia. I was raised in a Italian family with aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family and friends where Sunday dinner and Christmas eve were festivals of food and fun. I met Chuck and BJ and they invited me to Quincy and "Blue Gables" it was at the farm I met Aunt Carol and Uncle Dave. It was like Philly all over. All this family, friends always coming over, and the Food. Even before Jill an I were married in 1983, I greeted "Aunt Carol" with a hug and kiss. I am forever blessed to have been plunked from the East coast to become part of the Wilkinson/Bartlett family. Aunt Carol has a place in my heart rooted in the tradition of family and love created by our Lord. Thank you Aunt Carol. Philly Joe Corso and Jill

She sounds like a remarkable woman. I am sure this world is at a loss without her. I didn't know her, but was blessed to hear her speak and Chuck and BJ's anniversary party. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was very entertaining. God bless her and her family as they try to recover from such a loss.

For the few times I have been in the company of your Mother (family), I feel like I knew her forever. She had a welcoming spirit, big heart and lots of love to go around. I know she will be sadly missed. May God Bless Carol.
