Carolyn was truly a gentle, kind and
knowledgeable lady. She loved the Lord, her Family and anyone she ever met. When you spoke to Carolyn you could learn a lesson on life and how to appreciate our gifts of love for each other.
Sincerely, Mary Clawson

Carolyn was a blessing in my life. We studied together at St. Louis U. Afterwards we toured Europe. Then we were in each others weddings. Later in Claymont we shared families and friends. Indeed I cherish our friendship! Nancy Beckmann
