Dear Wayne and family,
I was saddened to hear of Carolyn's passing. I will always remember her as a very gracious lady. When Isabelle hit, I remember sitting in lawn chairs in your driveway and she was there smiling and talking and offering us her hospitality of a cold drink, all the while surrounded by the storm's devestation. She was truly a wonderful lady and even though you will be missing her, I hope you find comfort in knowing that many others are truly missing her and remembering her wonderful love of family and friends. She is surely smiling down on all of us. Fondly, Leonard and Brenda Hearn
