Carol was a special friend. She called us the ‘Bridgettes’! We played bridge with her weekly for several years until her illness got in the way. She was a much more experienced bridge player than we but she answered our questions thoughtfully and never made us feel anything but competent. When we consistently forgot who the dealer was, she simply brought a colorful Lei to drape around the neck of the dealer! It became a cherished talisman.
Over bridge we shared stories about our grandchildren, solved the world’s problems and, of course, talked food and recipes. We were constantly awed by Carol’s skill and creativity as a cook and baker. Each of us had our favorites: baked breakfast casserole, coffee rub for meat, cookie sheet apple pie, and her special Christmas morning coffee cake.
Carol was easy to be with. She was funny, smart, perceptive and kind. She was the friend who made each of us better for having known her. We miss her and will forever be her ‘Bridgettes’❤️
