Carol after a few years moved back to Maryborouh.\u00a0 Carol lived there with her dear friend Betty. The children lived with their grandparents when Carol was working.\u00a0 Carol and the children eventually were given housing in the Maryborough area where they lived in a 2-bedroom house for 5 years. Carol petitioned with the clerk of the court to get a 3-bedroom house, so my brother and I did not have to share a room. Carol ended up changing the Government Housing Law to children of different sex no longer having to share a bedroom. Carol and her children moved and settled into the house next door where the family lived for 50 years.\u00a0 Carol often worked 3 jobs at a time to make ends meet.<\/p>\n
