To Wesley, Beverly, and the Allen and Kidd family
I was deeply sorrowed to hear that Carolyn passed. Although we were miles apart, she stayed in my heart. Be not dismayed, we loved Carolyn, but God loved her best and called her home to rest. I will never forget even though she was sick; years ago how she was there for me when my father passed. So I know how your heart aches, but when you have people around you as loving as Carolyn, it gives you strength.

We offer our deepest sympathy. When tragedy strikes and takes the life of our loved ones, many cry out with great sorrow. Your tears are not unnoticed by the Creator of Life. Never was it his purpose for our human lives to be taken away. Although your deep pain will not easily disappear, prayer to God will bring comfort to you as you grieve. The Bible assures us God "is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spot." Psalm 147:3.

Wesley, There are no words to describe the bond that you and Carolyn have shared for over 41 years I only begin to imagine what you and your family are feeling. I remember Carolyn in her beauty, humility and most of all her willingness to help others. She had a gift and she would know when and how to approach someone in need. I regret that I didn't get to know her better but thank God that she was in my life when I was 16 and 17 and she will never be forgotten. I thank God that I too was one of the lucky ones that witnessed the bond between you and Carolyn in early years. Shirley, Beverly and Ricky I know that you all loved Carolyn but she is in a better place. As time moves on may God wrap his arms around you and your families until the thought of Carolyn's name is like a warm blanket on a cold winter night and you will smile at just the thought of seeing her face.

When tears start to fall,
And oh I know they will.
Just lift your eyes to HEAVEN,
Hear GOD say "Peace Be Still"

When tears start to fall,
And pain fills your heart.
Ask GOD for comfort,
I assure you, he'll do his part.

When tears star to fall,
And oh, I know they will.
Think of her long journey
Climbing life's rugged hill.

When tears start fall,
And you begin to wonder, why?
Just know that she's with JESUS,
In her home beyond the sky.

Carolyn was a wonderful person, and will greatly missed. My prayers are with you all.
