I was sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother via the Post Register. Best wishes as you pass through the next several months. Sincerely, Ray Fujii Paula Aznoe (inharmony@bresnan.net) I am so sorry to hear of Carol's passing. I have known her since the early 1980's, when I first joined Sweet Adelines. We had many fun Board of Directors meetings at her home. Carol was such a huge part of the chorus, and the region, for so many years. She will be missed.
