"Thank you Beth, for sending the picture and letting me know about Aunt Carol?s passing. She was married to my mom?s brother Jimmy, and although I didn?t see her often (since I am out here in California) we kept in touch with pictures and cards every Christmas. I will miss her stories and cards, and keeping in touch with her. The few times I actually saw her, she was a very warm and loving person, who must be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. Rest In Peace Aunt Carol. You are with Uncle Jimmy now. ??Deb"
