Carolyn was a beautiful friend and Christian. I will miss her, and talking about both of our love for Thomas Kinkade's beautiful art. I already miss her...

I will miss Carolyn in so many ways. She was member of my Bible Study group from Emmanuel and a dear friend. I would call her to find out how she was doing, and visit her at her convenience. We went through the losses of our dear husbands, Dean first and then mine, Duane. We comforted one another the best we could. I know Carolyn had great faith so she is good hands now. God Bless, Love Gloria
