I had the pleasure of working with Carollyn at BDC. She was a great co-worker and a good friend. Carolyn,although I haven't seen you lately, you have always been close by, in my thoughts. You are home now, with your loved ones who have already crossed. May God shower you with His blessings. Until we meet again. Love

Dear Lori and family,
Carolyn and I were friends for over 35 years and she was the most amazing friend anyone could ever want. She had so much love for her friends and so much faith in the Lord. I know she is with her Lord and truly has a special place in Heaven, but for those of us left behind we shall grieve for the loss of the best freind we ever had. I shall miss her more than words can express.

I will miss knowing she is here with us. She was one of my very dearest, closet friends. I will always remember her for her love of everything, her total personification of Our Lord and His wishes that we love one another and turn the other cheek. Carolyn did this all her life and I am very priveledged and honored to have been a part of that and have her call me friend. Walk with Jesus dearest friend for it is always what you did here and will now do forever. Save me a chair on the porch.

Carolyn was a Great Friend to me always there in need with support any way she could give it, she always thought of others before herself, even in her last days worried about everyone else how they would deal with her illness. I will miss her so, but I know she is where she wants to be and at peace. My heart goes out to Lorraine and Len in this time of sorrow, but we can smile for she is looking down and smiling at us, content. God Bless
