Carol Carlson lost her four-year-old son, David, to leukemia in 1986. This devastating and life changing event brought her a new understanding and acceptance of life's most difficult times and eventually new appreciation for life's many joys. Carol went on to have a long career in nonprofit management, working for many years with families of terminally ill children at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the National Marrow Donor Program. Carol is now retired and living in her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee where she runs a volunteer organization supporting mothers of police officers (her other son's chosen career.) Carol wrote and published her first book, Life as a Police Mom, in 2023.
