Carolyn was a wonderful, considerate, and very helpful friend to me and my wife, Marilyn. Her thoughts were of others and how to help them. I await our next meeting. Godspeed, dear friend!

Mrs. Mihara was a wonderful and kind person. She went out of her way to attend me and Kevin's wedding four months ago and I will always treasure the memory of her beautiful soul on our very special day. Mr. and Mrs. Mihara's connection as a married couple was one to be desired and respected. Their love for each other will continue and always remain evident and solid. I am honored to have crossed paths with an intelligent wonderful woman. Love, Kristine Booth-Gobble
