JOAN what a treasure Carole has been to your family and all of us. Thank you SO much for the diligent care you gave so wholeheartedly. Now she and Scott must be sharing their vibes together again in the next plane. Keep singing and thriving your vibes.

Joan, I send my sincere condolences for the loss of Carol, I loved seeing her every week to do her hair, when she moved to be with you and Scott, I knew it was for the best. Carol was not only my weekly client, she was my friend. I loved hearing her stories about her grandchildren and great grandchildren, they brought her such joy, know that you are all in my prayers. I loved her very much! Tammy Demko
Met Carole, and Ron, on a trip to London and Wales. We had such a good time. Kept in touch back in Wilkes-Barre and then on her move north. Such a classy yet devilish lady. Sorry to lose such a lovely soul.
Joan and family sorry for the loss of such a special person in your life’s. I will miss seeing Carole at the blood drives and particularly church. May God be with you all and enjoy your memories!!!
