I sure miss Carolyn. A LOT

February 4, 2020

I traveled with Carolyn, on cruises, to Alaska & Canada, and to Las Vegas (SEVERAL TIMES).
She was my beautician for many years, and my TRAVEL BUDDY for even longer. I miss Carolyn, and thank GOD that She is now with him; No more suffering. Carolyn was a real TROOPER. I feel Carolyn, and all her OHANA are family to me. I love EM all.
