Carolyn and I became friends in Junior High 7th grade! Over the years we shared lots of laughs, occasions, and life experiences. Carolyn was always giving, kind and optimistic. She cherished her family and delighted in having great grandsons Beckett and Kallan. All her "pals" have been lucky to share her love and friendship over so many years. My sincere heartfelt sympathy and blessings to all who were blessed by Carolyn´s life
