Joseph and Janelle, we share in your loss because Barbara and Malcolm have lost a dear dear friend in Carolyn Bullard. We will deeply miss the times of sharing first as colleagues then for many days as friends. We will also miss the joy of our Christian fellowship. But, we do have to cherish many fond memories of conversations, prayers, church events, social activities, and my travels with Carolyn. We will miss our caring, devoted, and loyal Christian sister and beloved friend. Carolyn's smile, kind heart, and sparkling sense of humor will be a continuing source of inspiration and delight for both of us. As we pray for you today, we encourage you to let go and let God sooth your aching hearts.

To Family of Carolyn C Bullard,
Please know that our prayers are with you. I do believe that Carolyn would like you to know...
To my dearest family,
Some things I'd like to say...but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

A beautiful thought to Joe and the entire family:
Always There
When you remember me
Please do not weep,
My body may not be there
It has chosen to sleep.
I'm not that far away
My soul lives on,
Looking down, watching over
You and everyone.
And when you feel sad
And life seems so blue,
Just remember
That my spirit has its arms around you.
And on those special days,
Times that you wish I could see,
That cool breeze flowing past you...
Well, that will be me.
So don't be sad
Have no fear,
God has taken me under his wing
But I'll always be near.
I still watch you
Every minute, and every day,
My love and soul are with you
And that's where they will stay.
RIP Mrs. Bullard
