To Norman, all the children and grandchildren.
We share your grief and loss with the passing of Carol, she was a special person to each of us and touched each of us in a way only we're each aware of. She was a kind person who was willing to lead the way when you were unsure.
Regardless of who you happen to be in this family she was the glue.
