My condolences to Doug and Carol’s family on Carol’s passing. Carol was my babysitter when I was little rug rat, I can still recall waiting for her to come down the street to our house, she was so much fun! Growing up in small town America truly was a blessing, Carol and Elroy and Eunice were are part of that as was the whole Moen family, along with the Fuglebergs. Wonderful folks, great neighbors, so thankful to have had them in my life.
