Carol and I spent many years sharing an office. She worked for the head of engineering and I worked in manufacturing. Carol and I had a lot in common - neither of us had any children, but both of our brothers had four sons, which they both shared with us. We were both very close to all those boys and watched and shared their lives go on, get married and having children. Not forgetting her sister, Betty, whom I had met and she always talked about her two daughters. Carol and I would spend our lunch hours by walking around the inside of the building and, of course, talking about anything and everything - that was our form of exercise and staying in shape. I came over from Scotland in 1956, and it was a dream of both Carol's and mine that we would take a trip over there. We were going to sail on the QE2, tour England and Scotland, then fly back. Needless to say, it never developed, much to my disappointment. I am so very sad that she was taken so early in life. My husband was born the same year as Carol and he died in 2001, at age 60. She was a great comfort to me at that time. I will miss her very much. May peace be with all of you.
