So very sorry for your loss… she was always so loving and caring… I can still hear her yelling across the yard at us when we were kids… she will be missed… love you guys and prayers for peace
I remember being younger and going over to the Gocek house, going to church and bible school. Carol was always that mom figure for all the neighborhood kids. There were a lot of us but she always made it a point to keep us straight and she wasn’t shy to put us in our place when we got out of line. What a wonderful woman and she will definitely be missed.
