I’m so sorry to read about Carolyn. I haven’t seen her for a long time. I knew her from Aglow years ago and also remember her from the Episcopal Church. She is now with her beloved Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. May He give all of you His comfort and peace. Pat Bell

Dana, Rob, Scott, and Andrew, I am so saddened to hear about Carol. For as long as I have known you all and your family Carol was always one of the kindest and most fun women to be around. During the months before my Dad, Mom, and Aunt Catherine died Carol was always a source of comfort and more than a few smiles when I would see her around Middletown. I will never forget her.
