i lost my oldest and dearest friend a year ago today.  although life carries people in different directions, carol treasured her friendships and never let too much time pass without reaching out . . . karen shepp or candy cochran will tell you the same - its who she was.   

and though carol lived in florida, she was always up for a road trip and a good time, so she loved getting back to virginia for the class reunions to reconnect and make plans with old friends.  i was expecting to see her last aug, but covid took her in july.  i know that she is missed by all who knew and loved her. 

i often joked with carol that we were so different it was a mystery how we remained friends for over sixty years.  after all she was sweet, patient and thoughtful  - and i never heard her say a mean thing about anyone,  even if she was hurt.   and i was  . . . well,  me!  

but i read somewhere that friendships fill the cracks left open by our personalities.  i couldnt have had a better friend in my life.     

rest easy sweet carol.

Carol was indeed a kind and sweet person.  During our Fort Hunt years, I never heard her say anything negative about anyone.  It's nice she could make some of the reunions. I'm sure she is missed by many.
