"As Carol's former Pastor and seminary mentor I can testify to her
excellent care given to her husband and one of my best friends Herb
Johnson. Researching, attending meetings, and ever learning Carol
proved not only to be a good wife but an excellent caregiver. I highly
recommend her book as she has been a wonderful caregiver to all
three husbands who passed on to be with the Lord. She has known
the meaning and commitment she spoke in those marriage vows "in
sickness and health."
