  1. Carol, long time neighbor and friend. We have lots of memories, Sunday family road trips for quiet turkey with the kids, neighborhood walks at 7am, days spent by the pool with the kids learning to swim, trip to Vegas and Disney, boat rides in Casio Bay, 4th July fireworks and so many more good times. Oh cooking liver because WW said we had to eat it, but we never did. Just laughed and tossed it in the trash. You will be missed my friend. Thanks for being my thoughtful neighbor.❤️
