Carol (and Stuart) were our carpool buddies in our early years at Perimeter School. We both lived in Peachtree Station and had kids that were similar ages attending the school. The memory that stands out most for me was her preparing and delivering a meal only a few days after I had come home with our fourth child. Carol had not long since given birth to Audrey, but there she was making us a meal! She included a sweet card that congratulated us on the new baby, but also said something like, "Please don't worry about writing a thank-you note for the meal. Save that time and enjoy your new baby!" She meant it of course.
We resumed carpooling several years later as we were living again (almost) in the same neighborhood. It was very common for her to text me and say "Hey, can I pick up Griffin for you and save you a trip to the school?" She was so dear, so very thoughtful and kind and so full of love.
