Roger and Peggy DeMeyer says
So sorry for your loss. I will always remember how Carol was so helpful at the green house. She would many times slip in a free plant and say, just try this different plant and see how you like it. Her involvement at St. Anastasia was an example of faith and commitment to our young school students and the church community. Blessed be her memory.
