Carolyn was a sweet, caring and helpful co-worker. She always had a smile and was quick to share a giggle. She lit up when speaking of her grandchildren. She would share stories of having them all spend the night. She cherished her family. I will miss you my friend. Hugs, memories and strength to her family. What a shock for all of us.
