Not sure what to say?

There are so many things I remember about Carolyn. The Girl Scout troup was probably the best. The time we put on a dinner for Rosary Guild, got the troop lost on a hike, traveled to a hayride in the Souhtern tier with 18 kids in two cars (that was before seat belt laws), the messy craft projects we came up with. The campouts when our two darlings got in trouble.
Then Carolyn said she wasn't going to do it anymore. I pleaded and she told me I would understand when I reached her age. ...

Dear Buzz,
We just heard of Carolyn's passing. Please accept our deepest condolences.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My memories of Carolyn "Mrs Abel" while growing up on Cranbrooke Drive were of someone that was always full of energy, always had a smile on her face and had a tremendous zeal for life. Of course you can never replace a mother, or a wife, but remember this also, you can never truly lose someone if you always know where they are...
God Bless,
John

Buzz and family,
I worked with Carolyn at the St. Andrew's Food Pantry and we shared our battle of cancer together. The last time I saw her was at the Food Pantry and we had just seen each other at the Lipson Cancer Center for our treatments. I am so, so sorry for your loss.
Buzz, may the memory of Carolyn and the special life you shared help ease the sadness of your loss.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Sherry,
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. Please know that you are very much a part of my thoughts during this difficult time.

Love,

Sherry and family,
Your mom must have been an amazing woman to have raised a daughter with such a kind and beautiful spirit - helping others as you have help me. Please know you all have a new guardian angel to smile down on you.
Peace,
