<p><b>Carol Pierce</b> passed away a little before noon [Thursday, September 20, 2012] of cardio-pulmonary complications. Aimee Hilliard and Mary Laura Jones were with Carol the entire morning. Carol enjoyed the Accelerate 77 event on Saturday and loved keeping in touch with many of you and keeping track of your lives and activities.</p>
</div></div>
<div>
<p><br>There will be a Memorial Service at the ICA GreenRise Center building on a weekend in September or October. I will post the time and date as soon as the family decides the date.</p></div>
<div>
<p><br>Carol will be deeply missed. She was a wise and courageous mentor to many of us. I will miss her wisdom, her humor, her gracious attitude and her demonstration of living a great life in the midst of physical adversity.</p>
