I just learned of my cousin, Carolyn's, passing. Carolyn lived with my family in Miami, Florida, in the 1950s and she and I shared a room. Carolyn was working as an office manager for Mutual Employees Trademark in Hialeah, Florida. After she married Gene, we would visit them in Ocala on our way to North Georgia to visit relatives. Years later, I would visit her at Magnolia Manor when I vacationed in Hiawassee. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.
