I certainly will miss Carole. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Ego sum via et veritas et vita. Nemo venit ad Patrem nisi per me.
Carole was the friendliest and most thoughtful person I have had the joy of knowing. We joined Vienna Womans Club at the same time. Over the years we worked together on many projects and she was always generous with her time, sharing her wonderful cooking and seemingly endless energy. Our prayers are with her family, she will be missed by all.
Mr. Burgess & family, I’m so sorry to hear about Mrs. Burgess. My thoughts are with you all. She is in a better place now. Michelle Rivlin Gee & family
