From Georgia Orcutt:

Carol was my all-time favorite conversation partner. She could talk about anything, was a great storyteller, and a serious listener.
When something comes along that I want to share with her, I feel ripples of loss knowing that she’s gone.
And then I see her face,  her lovely warm smile, the twinkle in her eyes, and I remember her.
For example, last weekend, up in Vermont, I met a guy who lives on our road. He said he’d been to Cambridge once, and couldn’t understand why no one there had curtains in their windows.
 I immediately thought of a time Carol told me she hated curtains. She couldn’t see the point of figuring out how long they should be,
what material they should be, or what system of rods and hooks to use for hanging them up or opening and closing them.
 A memory like that brings her back for a little while and feels like a special gift.
 I look forward to opening many more in the days to come. 

From Christy Stolper:

My enduring memory of Carol is seeing her at Concord Academy frisbee games and other CA events. Her smile always went all the way up to her eyes. She made you feel as though you were the most important person in the room. Her love for her family was palpable.
