Carol S. is Gene M.'s sister.  I've known her also since 1977. Carol is a really good person, a good cook, and a great friend. 

Carol was married for a number of years to Jim, a person that apparently didn't treat her too well and she managed to get out of that relationship. But she and I (in fact, the whole family) are pretty close...as I mentioned in Gene M.'s page, as close to family members as you can get, but not born into it. I used to go to Phoenix about three or four times a year and visit them, (as well as visit a wholesaler out there for some very special deals on stuff). I enjoy visiting the entire family, including Shawn (James), his wife Alicia, Jared, Matthew, his wife and kids, Gene and Carol's surviving parent, Alice, and Gene's other sister, Shirley. I have pics of all of 'em and for some reason, never have posted them on this site. I think I'll make an effort to change that. Tragically, Carol's dad, Tom lost his battle with heart disease in October, 2005...another person that is sorely missed.
