I am so sorry that i found out about Carolyn's passing this late. We had such a fun time at work at Wright Patterson AFB. She was a great friend and we laughed a lot. The reason I was trying to find her is because i missed talking to her, and to find that she has passed is a hurting thing. Rest in peace, my friend.
