Bill and Family. I share your grief in this time of bereavement with deepest sympathy and condolence. Carol attended classes with me at St. Joseph's Academy, Winnipeg. We were close friends. We hooked up again through Classmates. I was hoping to visit Carol this summer. - Posted by: Patricia (Matte) Lumley (Friend) on: Apr 27, 2013
