Chris, I am so sad to hear of Carol’s death.  I have such happy memories of reconnecting and getting together with her and several other of our friends from Melrose over the past five or six summers.  She had a special inner joy that few people have.  I am going to miss her so much.  

Chris and Family...So sad to hear of Carol’s sudden passing. She sounds like she was a true “life force”, and such a bright light in the family. My love goes out to all the Merendas and Vantynes during this terrible time.

Chris and family, I was deeply saddened to hear of Carol’s sudden passing. My heartfelt condolences on the loss of such a sweet and generous soul.   Fond memories of Karaoke at Hampton Beach. Will never forget Carol, so young at heart singing ‘Earth Angel’ and ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow’. Carol’s embrace of her faith was such an inspiration. I am sure she is at peace now. We will miss her!
