Not sure what to say?

Reading Carolyn's obit again, I realize that I am now the same age as she was when she passed! It feels too soon. I will always be grateful for the way Carolyn shared her life with me through her faith and her singing. She remains a happy memory of my time at St. Thomas Aquinas! May she rest in peace.

Carolyn will always remain in my memory as a loving and giving person....and I am so grateful to have known her in this lifetime!

I always think of Carolyn especially this time of year......not only her passing but also her June birthday! I remember her smile, her love of music and singing, her love of life. She touched my life and I am grateful! Thank-you, Carolyn!

Larry, Theresa, Cynthia, Doug and Nick,
Carolyn was on my mind the other day as I looked at my July calendar......remembering her birthday is soon as well as her birth into the next life. I hope you all are doing well. Carolyn's smile and beautiful spirit lives on in you and in the love and music she shared at St. Thomas too! Such a warm smile and lovely energy that lingers on......... it is good to remember. I will let her energy warm my heart today. God bless all of you!

You can call on those memories to sustain you and let time help erase all the sadness, the goodness of Carolyn will eventually bring smiles of past joy and all the great times. Love to all of...
