    So sorry to hear of Carole’s passing. We were such good friends in high school and our girls were friends in school. We lost contact over the years as people do sometimes. Prayers for all her family.

    I’m so very sorry to hear of Carole’s passing. I had no idea. She was always very sweet and kind, as well as the whole Darnell family. We grew up “in the neighborhood”. Sending prayers and comforting thoughts to the family. Jill Morse
