I will always remember visiting Caorolyn at Fire Station 41 for many years at Ladder 9 "A". Our crew, Pete Hawking, John Tamillo, and Cpt Ron Ray, had so many great times making her laugh and having her make us laugh. She was always smiling and always treated everyone as her own. She is truly an irreplaceable member of the Phoenix Fire Department. Carolyn, you are loved by all and you will never be forgotten. Thank you for the happiness you spread and for all the wonderful memories. God bless you and your family and may you rest in piece.
