Greg and family,
I had just spoken with Carolyn a few weeks ago to see how she was doing. She did my Mama's hair for many years and we thought of her like family. Carolyn was one of the sweetest most humble people I've ever known. She would do anything for anyone if they needed help. She always kept a positive attitude no matter what sorrows she faced. You have my deepest sympathy and I will be keeping you in my prayers. Carolyn will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
