"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."
