My sincere condolences to Carole’s family. I always enjoyed teaching with her and dog sitting for Trinket. She may have been the only one to call me ‘honey’ and ‘little sh*t’ in the same statement.

My name is Teresa Pittz. I taught school with Carole at Belmont for many years. What an awesome person. I was a "Newbiee" and she helped me so much. Not just how to become a better teacher, but how to navigate the personel and the budget and ordering and how to deal with tough students and tougher administration. I don't know that I could have survived my 1st few years without her. Then we became social friends. Again what a great lady; and her husband, Tom. God, gives us angels, and we don't even know it until they are gone. Carole was an angel on earth. Teresa Pittz

Dear Scott & Anne, We so love your family and carry fond memories-sitting in directors chairs and eating peanuts, trading school stories…your mom using the oven as a bread box…Fiestaware under the bed…Anne informing us of how she helped her mom into her girdle before our wedding…Scott’s Home Ec hotdog pillow as Christmas gift…so many smiles! Thank you for taking care of your parents-never an easy task even when they weren’t in poor health! Always in our hearts~
