She was very smart and just as pretty as could be. Then we went to Delphi for high school. Our grade school class spent 12 years in school together. I always felt a special connection to our grade school class as we grew up together. They all have held a special place in my heart over all these years. Carol and I set beside each other in biology class. We had a lot of fun flirting with each other that year. She came from a very good family. Her folks did a good job raising her and Gary. My condolences to the whole family as Carol is a great lose. As most kids we lost contact after high school. But I wish now that our 13 could would have stayed in contact. May God bless the entire family as you all go through this trying time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love and God bless, Ron Stockton.

So sorry to hear about Carol. She was my best friend in grade school at New Hope . We used to have so much fun playing together. I remember roller skating inside one of her empty corn bins when we were probably 10. Ron is right. We had a close group that came from New Hope. I have nothing but happy memories growing up in the country.

Our New Hope crowd moved on to Delphi High School and then we went our separate ways after high school but I always cared a lot for Carol. Pat Long Hendershot
