I was so sorry to hear of Carolyn's passing. Even though we had not seen each other since we were children, I remember Carolyn as a quiet person,
with a very gentle soul. Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were blessed to have her in their lives.

A big piece of my heart is broken forever. You are not only my grandmother but you have been like a mother to me my whole life.
You would do anything for your Grandchildren. I love you Grandma forever & always. Rip and give Granny a big hug & kiss for me.
