Sadly, one of our long time players that played for many years each season became ill right after the championship game and she has passed away. Her name was Carol Webber; a great lady to know and always a pleasure to talk to, she was one of these players that just loved getting out on the bocce courts each year and play bocce. I might add, she was pretty good and the players always worried when they came up against Carol. Her team, named Toby's Gang, came in second place and I was able to take her picture as she proudly displayed the game ball she had used during the bocce championship game. She worked hard for her team and even though she had to use a walker to step down into the bocce courts, Carol played for four hours playing a total of five games to help her team place second. I was disappointed when we had celebrated the winners at our bocce banquet and Carol was not there. In the picture to the right, Carol is pictured with her team (she is on the far left), and that is the last time I saw Carol. I'm not afraid to say that my wife Cathy and I felt as though we lost a family member since Carol was always there and just loved people and being with her friends. We will miss Carol and we know next year will seem different not seeing her. Thank you Carol for being there even though you were sick and no one knew but she played hard to help her team to the very last. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to Carol's family and friends. We will miss you. God Bless you Carol. Ross Brunetto, Bocce Chairperson, (951) 926-8295 Bocce
