To my precious cousins, I was truly sad to be told of Aunt Carolyns passing. Of course my memories are of the great fun times over in Kincaid during summer months when Sheila & I would be over together with your MOM & DAD & you kids, tons of fun happy memories. Im so glad to have known your Mother and Im very fortunate to have several pictures of her with your DAD giving our oldest son his first haircut, she kept him happy while your DAD steadily used those clippers & all! Please know that your Aunt Wilma Jean Jorgensen thought your MOM(TOOTS as they called her) was someone Special and cared very much about her fun loving disposition & if possible would tell you this herself(MOM still in NURSING HOME IN GIRARD, but on her behalf I want you kids to know that she loves you all. Sorry we cant be with you to give a HUG, but hold tight to each other and all the GREAT HAPPY MEMORIES. LOVE YOU ALL, YOUR COUSIN, GLORIA-JORGENSEN-TAPP MACKINAW,ILL.

We will truly miss Carolyn. She was always one of our favorite people. As Jim & I talked about her - our favorite stories were the Anderson Clayton Christmas parties from years ago when she arrived in a new dress, rhinestone jewelry and high heels. Always looking like she stepped from a fashion magazine! The best part of the story was that she had just made the dress THAT DAY - sometimes sewing in the car on the way to the party. We will carry very fond memories of Carolyn. Our deepest sympathy to her family.
