Sonny, Everette and family,

I was so heartbroken to hear of Carolyn's passing. We had just spoken a couple of months ago and I so enjoyed talking to her and remembering old times. She was the "big sister" I never had and I have so many fond memories of her living with us in Athens. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. We were all so blessed to have had her in our lives.
