I am so sorry to hear about your Mom…May she rest with the angels above…
Table #9 will never be the same without Carol! We’ll all miss you!
I remember sitting at your kitchen table playing Taboo and Carol trying to describe who Connie Selleca was! Very funny time I remember well.
I loved how much she loved music. When I was young and hanging out with her daughter Karen, she would always be sitting in her kitchen listening to music. Journey wheele in the sky playing on her radio, a glass of ice tea in her hand. When she wasn’t in her kitchen she was outside on her patio soaking up the sun. My kids will remember her as the lady that made homemade cupcakes to give out on Halloween. She will always hold a special place in my heart. Xoxoxo
Absolutely!! Thanks Dawn, my Mom loved you, and we love you too

Dear Karen and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. May God shower you with grace upon grace during this pain-filled time.
Hugs,

One of my most fondest memories of Carol was when I heading over to Mikes with my girlfriend Kim (who is now my wife). I walked in and introduced her to Carol. We sat and talked for 15 minutes or so before we headed out. As we were leaving Carol leaned over said “what a nice girl you have, she is a keeper “
Mike and Heather, I am truly sorry for the loss of your mother and grandmother to the kids. You guys have been great to me and I would love to return the well wishes and affection to your whole family. I love you guys and hope that all is well.
