Carol’s Story

Site created on July 19, 2020

Welcome to Carol's CaringBridge website. I am using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. Our lives have been intertwined with so many others in a myriad of places and contexts over our 47-year friendship.  Eventually on this site, I may include more excerpts from my BitterSweet diary tracking our journey since Carol's diagnosis with Alzheimer's Disease in 2012.  Now, CaringBridge allows me to invite you to keep up with updates on recent changes that are likely Carol's final chapter.   Your love and support is God's sign to us that we truly are one!  Thank you for visiting.  Helen
