I spoke my first words in Carole’s day care!  I had the great pleasure of being in Carole’s day care regularly with my brother, Jason.  Carole, Cassie and Cassie’s kids, Rodney, Brea, Cody and Kevin, were our friends at our “home away from home” for many years.

Distinctly, I remember saying my first words at Carole’s house. My parents were out of town and my brother and I were staying there. I was sort of old to not be speaking yet, but wasn’t talking. (Actually, I was practicing when no one was around, talking only to myself.) But one day, out popped, “I want my bobba” when I was extremely thirsty. Up until that point, I had never even said “momma” or “daddy”.

Carole and her family always made us feel loved and welcome until we moved out of Tujunga in 2002. I will always remember her.
