Carol and I lived 3 houses apart when we were children. We had some great times. On Saturdays we would ride our bikes to coolidge Ave., where we each had a Grandmother to see what they were baking and get treats.
My Dad made a frame to fit a wagon and we covered it with an old bedspread and made it a house for our dolls.
In the fall Mr. Schaefer would rake the leaves and make rows so it was like a house and we got to play dolls and have a "house for a day or two."
When older we went one street back, to Cook Street, and played kick the can and hide-and-go seak with other neighborhood kids in the street. Carol and I could walk to the library and downtown to the dime store,and buy something for ten cents.
Carol and Iwere raised when Barrington was a small friendly town and it was ok to go do things anywhere.
A favorite treat, was if I got to go with Carol and her family to Jefferson Ice, where they had a meat locker. Jefferson Ice was the first place I ever had a popsicle.
Our childhood was good! I'm glad we started writing to each other several years ago.
I will think of her often.

If Carol was as wonderful as her daughter, I would have been very proud to have known her. I know she will be missed by all. Hold fast and always remember there is someone out there who loves you and doesnt even know you.

- we only met you a few times so we did not know you well. But
we see enough to know that you were a loving and loved lady
who will be missed. We send our heartfelt condolences to all
your family and friends -- and particularly to our daughter-in-law
and your step daughter Krissie McKirdy.

we
will always remember Carol as a loving Mother and Grandmother.
Much like her treasured hand-crafted gifts, she shaped her
family relationships with thoughtfulness and care. We will
always remember her warm smile, positive outlook, and down-to-earth
manner. We will miss her very much.
