One could say “the odds” were against my sister. From the very beginning, and beyond … Yet while running through her own ‘gauntlet’ of life’s twists and turns, Carol always had time to meet new friends, and to establish yet another bond. The only barrier to “life” she could not overcome was CJD – that’s the disease’s name. Within just a few short months, it took her from us, and our lives have never been the same. We miss her every day – so unfair – so wrenching, how and why we had to part, yet, that ogre CJD has truly failed miserably, as Carol will always live on in our hearts.
Love, Brian, Anita, Dale, Niki, Crishna & Lanette
