Carolyn was a very Special Friend. We worked together for over 27 years, we worked in the Spencer Co Fair Booth at the Ky State Fair one year and we had such an enjoyable and fun time. Three couples of us spent a week-end on a House Boat one year and had a wonderful time, don't think we caught too many fish. We took a computer class together one year. We always had lots of laughs and good time. She and I worked together stripping tobacco one year and we always had a great time. Dear Carolyn you are surely missed. We and everyone Loved You. Keeping you and your Family in our Hearts and Prayers, Carol McCall
