CAROL & I MET AT HER FAMILY PHYSICIANS OFFICE WHERE SHE WAS A PATIENT FOR THE DR I WORKED FOR. HE SPOKE TO US TOGETHER TELLING US WE WERE SO MUCH ALIKE, THAT WE MUST BECOME FRIENDS! THANKS TO DR MULLEN WE DID! AND HAVE REMAINED FRIENDS, CONFIDANTS SHARING SO MUCH OF OUR LIVES. WHEN WE MET OUR KIDS WERE SMALL SO THEY TOO WERE INCLUDED. THERE'S MORE FOR ME TO SAY ABOUT THIS MOST SPECIAL FRIEND/SISTER THAN SPACE ALLOWS.
SHE WAS SUCH A CHILD OF GOD AND PRAYER WARRIOR, SPECIAL MOTHER AS WELL AS NURSE. HER 4 KIDS RELATE OF HER TEACHINGS AS THEY CARED FOR HER AND JOE BEFORE THIS, WITH SUCH ATTENTION OF CARE IN THE LAST DAYS SELFLESSLY TAKING TURNS 24/7! THEY HONORED HER GREATLY.
WE HAVE LOST SUCH A SPECIAL ONE BUT KNOW WHERE SHE IS, AS SHE KNEW WHERE SHE WAS GOING! GOODBYE FOR NOW, TO MY SPECIAL FRIEND. SANDY & JERRY FRIESNER
