GUESTBOOK
I have been friends with Carol and her kids Jeff, Jackie and her daughter Madelyn. I can tell you that she was the best person, friend of a life time. I will never ever forget her. She was a great cook and she shared some of her best chili with me and my family. Her lasagna was absolutely delicious. She had a sweet tooth for chocolate and loved pizza from Gelsaucemo, Tony pizza in Valparaiso Indiana. I will miss her terribly because she made me laugh. I will miss you terribly. I wish that I could have talked to you at least one more time. You were the best friend who made me laugh all the time. I remember when I first met you and your family. Tell Tom and my mom and dad, brother Skip, John and Roger hello and we love them. -Deborah Naillieux
