Memorial Fund

By early 2006, the foundation had awarded $1.2 million to 220 students. The Di Maitis' attorney, Marvin Gellar, explained to the press: "Carol would not want to be remembered as the victim of a sensational murder, but rather as a woman who left behind a legacy of healing and compassion."
