Leave a tribute for Carol Withrow Ware.
I only became aware of Carol's passing today and was saddened to learn of this. Bryan, her son, was a student in my fourth grade classroom quite a few years ago. This is how I became acquainted with her. To Pam, Bryan and all her family, you have my sincere sympathy on this the anniversary of her passing.
