Not sure what to say?

Mom lived a long and useful life guiding our development with her high standards, love of family, and quick wit. Twelve of her "retirement" years were spent totally devoted to Dad's care and his struggles with Alzheimer's only to have her fall victim to the same disease several years later. I pray that the family, and especially the grandchildren, can look past those trying years and remember the Carolyn that we knew. May she finally rest in peace. Catherine

Carolyn was a wonderful Aunt that was always fun to be with. She will be greatly missed.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

May she and all the departed rest in eternal peace. What a wonderful example of humankind she was.

Catherine and Bill,

My love and condolences on the death of your mom. What wonderful memories we all have of the Petrey family. I am so proud to be a Petrey and of the aunts, uncles, and cousins I have. I know Aunt Caroline loved her children and grandchildren very much and she was so proud of them. She will certainly be missed.

Love, Sue Petrey Shafer

We lost a very important family member and a fine southern lady. We were all fortunate to have known her and to have our lives influenced by her intelligence and grace. I also recall a very good since of humor. God bless her.

We will miss our Aunt Carolyn. Her wonderful spirit will never die.
