Don, Scott & Donna:

There was so much I wanted to say today. It seems like yesterday that Matthew and I were being welcomed into your family. Carolyn made us feel very special. She loved her family very much especially her Don or as she would say "My Don". It was obvious that Carolyn loved her family as it shows in each of you. As it was quoted today " You were the apple of her eyes".

I am so blessed to have known her and to have had her in my life as she was my other MOTHER.

I am very sadened by her untimely passing but it gives me strength to know that she is celebrating a birthday like no other!!!!

I love all of you with all my heart.

Don, Donna, Scott & Family,
Love, peace and light to each of you. Carolyn will be missed by all, but her joyous spirit will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone who was fortunate to have known her. I will cherish the many fond memories I have of her loading up all of us cousins for a day at Lakeside, the movies or the pool. She made being a kid a lot of fun!

Dear Don and family,
Carolyn was one of the sweetest Christians I've ever known. I was privileged to work with her in Blue Ridge Baptist's AWANA program. She was so bubbly and enthusiastic, it lifted everyone's spirits to be around her.
I know you and your family took wonderful care of Carolyn during these difficult years. Praying God will bless and comfort you and your family as only He can at this difficult time.
