Jack and family,

No words can ease the pain or grief you are experiencing. I hope you are able to find comfort in knowing the love and support that you have during this time and always. Carolyn was a pillar of our church and her legacy shall live on.

She looked after Jack and was always in support of his adventures. She truly was a woman that loved her faith in God and demonstrated his love for us through her daily actions. I would bet she is in heaven organizing a group of friends to complete a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle.
Rest in Peace Carolyn!
